@aunt bea has hit a home run on all fronts: many people here are from “elsewhere” - you should have not problem fitting in. If you plan to study business in California, I’d suggest setting your sights on trying to transfer into private. As has been said, you will be very low on the Cal food chain to transfer in. Getting into Haas will be even more of a challenge. Hate to discourage you, but those are the realities.
