Apply as a transfer student to UCs - Directly out of HS

@ucbalumnus Well, I would like to say that I am 100% set on being a business major, and the progress I’ve made on my own businesses outside of school has really attributed to that. I know it can all change in a split second, but being pretty decisive, I would much rather go in and get a business degree in two years even if I were to change my career plan, than to chance it and take four years even though I have the credits completed. To me, it seems like that would be a waste of the countless hours I put in by dual enrolling alongside everything else, so basically I’m just wondering if it’s possible for me to be put on the fast track to my degree.

As for the credits, I viewed a transfer course list with a counselor at my CC and verified that 66 (22 semester-long classes) of my college credits are transferable, which would put me on track for graduating in two years. I was already set on this plan prior to dual enrolling, and it just seems like transfer students with near-perfect GPAs have much better odds when applying than the freshman applicants (also with near-perfect stats).

Basically, I’m just wondering if it’s at all possible to increase my chances greatly by applying as a transfer. Thanks for the response!
