CSU student trying to transfer out to a UC

I know of another at SJSU who had a high GPA (3.8+) in engineering after 2 years and was denied a transfer to UCD this coming Fall. The person thinks the reason is CSU to UC is a lower priority than cc or UC (which is true) and some of the SJSU classes did not match or transfer to the UC equivalents

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/transfers-major indicates that 3.8 college GPA is within the 25th-75th percentile admit GPA range for engineering majors at UCD, but typically in the upper part of that range. But engineering admit rates are pretty low, so other factors like essays and not coming from a community college could be significant factors.
