The California publics (for which you presumably will get in-state tuition if your parents are still resident there) are generally transfer-friendly, but generally more friendly to transfer applicants from California community colleges than from other schools. Those with chemical engineering are CPP, CSULB, SJSU, UCB, UCD, UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSD, UCSB. You can probably shotgun them with two applications (one for the CSUs, one for the UCs). However, if you will have more than 80 or 90 total credit units (with a maximum of 70 lower division credit units), then your ability to apply to some UCs may be limited: University of California Counselors; .

While Columbia as the “2” school in 3+2 programs guarantees admission after meeting specific GPA and course requirements, it does not guarantee financial aid for 3+2 transfer students. So if financial aid is a concern, try to find a safety that you know is affordable.
