I don’t want to go into much detail, but i’m currently 0-7 on college acceptances with most of the high acceptance rate schools already being released.
Need advice on CC Tag program for California Residents + college experience.
- Is it possible to transfer fall 2026 current courses taken (for electrical engeenering).
- I was really looking forward to the college experience. My goal isn’t to be out in the real world working at 20 years old. I want to participate in activities (improv, mock trial, intramural sports), as well as meet other people. Would it be possible to do 3 years at a UC after transferring to have more time to be able to participate in these activities.
- Any advice on how to approach the next four years would also be very much appreciated. I do plan on going to grad school.
I currently have 23 credits worth of classes at cc (Calc 3, D.E., Discrete, Linear, + Law/social justice courses) and will have 11 AP classes taken by the end of the year ( AB, BC, Stats, C Mechanics, World, Apush, CSP, CSA, macro, micro, us gov, phy 2).
Yeah apply to schools still taking apps that will you deliver a top notch engineering and social experience.
There’s many and off the top of my head - Arizona, Arizona State, Alabama, Mississippi State. I’m sure there’s more.
Guess what. Kids from these schools get the same jobs as kids from the schools that turned you down - or at least similar jobs.
Obviously you overreached. Fortunately you have time to fix that.
Good luck.

Use https://www.assist.org to check transferability of California community college courses to UCs (including specific lists of courses for your major). AP score credit can be checked on the web site of each UC campus.
UCs normally admit junior transfers who could theoretically graduate in two years (four semesters or six quarters), although for some engineering majors, lack of engineering prerequisites at community colleges may need more than four semesters or six quarters after transfer. But note that campuses may have limits on the number of semesters, quarters, or credits you can have and continue to register. Limits for engineering majors:
UCB: 5 semesters after transfer entry
UCI: 236 total quarter units and 10 quarters after transfer entry
UCLA: 213 total quarter units
UCM: ???
UCR: 120% of the total number of quarter units in the major plan (216 for electrical engineering)
UCSD: 6 quarters after transfer entry
UCSB: 215 total quarter units and 9 quarters after transfer entry
UCSC: 135 quarter units after transfer entry and 6 quarters after transfer entry
Note that credit from high school (AP, IB, college courses taken while in high school) does not count toward unit limits, and at most 70 semester or 105 quarter units of lower division courses will be given transfer credit (all courses will count for subject credit). Exceeding the unit or quarter/semester limits listed above requires getting permission to do so, and presumably means having a course plan to complete all requirements as soon as possible to graduate.
