@ucbalumnus I see; I didn’t know about that 3-year rule at UCB. My top choice UC right now is UCLA, which is nearly if not just as difficult as UCB in terms of admission, so what I’m trying to figure out is if I can apply to UCLA as a transfer, which greatly increases my chances. UCLA doesn’t have the TAG (transfer admission guarantee) which is unfortunate, but with a high GPA, it is definitely much easier to get in as a transfer than as a freshman applicant.
