A hook is something that the university needs and is specific:
Recruited Athlete
URM-Underrepresented Minority
Legacy
Celebrity status
Donor Status
I don’t think your safeties are really safeties because you are a nonresident, and those are public schools.
I don’t know about the other schools.
UCSD probably isn’t a match. It will be tough.
Did you meet their A-G requirements, specifically the F requirement? Without a HS diploma from a California HS, I don’t think you will fare well when compared with other transfer students from the State.
The psych program is impacted. @Gumbymom would have more information on that.
Also, housing is impacted, tough and expensive, unless you are you a local resident?
It sounds like your current university program is working for you. The colleges will want to know why you are transferring if you are being successful in your current program.
