<p>And then transfer to somewhere like UCLA later. I’ve gotten accepted to Cal Poly and would like end up at UCLA at the end of my college career.</p>

<p>It will be very hard to do so, since you are already at a 4-year institute. If you moseyed down to a community college, your chances are simply better. CCs have credit agreements and even acceptance agreements with the UC. It is a much safer choice to be at a CC for two years, than a 4-year for two years.</p>

<p>UCLA does not have a guaranteed admissions program with California Community Colleges (CCCs), but it does prioritize junior transfers from CCCs. You’d have a better chance getting into UCLA from a CCC than a CSU simply on the basis of that alone. Aim for a 3.6+ GPA… you can look at UCLA’s transfer pages for statistics on average GPAs for transfer by major.</p>

<p>Also, many UCs do have <em>guaranteed</em> transfer agreements from CCCs, so you could in theory have a backup plan if UCLA didn’t work out.</p>

<p>However, in today’s economy, almost any plan needs to be flexible - admission processes are likely to get more restrictive in the coming years. </p>
