I didn’t do so hot in high school, so I didn’t bother to apply to any UCs. Fortunately, I did get into CSULA. So I decided to go there thinking I’m going to apply to transfer my second year. Then I come to find out it is nearly impossible to transfer from a CSU to a UC. My plan is to transfer to my local cc (PCC) and apply to transfer from there. I know how extremely hard it is to get classes at ccs so I’m worried I might fall behind a year, and I don’t want that. I want to finish this first year at CSULA (2014-2015), attend PCC this upcoming school year, (2015-2016) apply to transfer this upcoming fall, (2015) and be at a UC by next school year (2016-2017). I’m thinking about talking to a counselor about this, but I’ve heard a few stories about how some are not very supportive of this transition. I’d really like to hear from you all. Is this possible? Any advice on what I should do? Have any of you had success in doing this? Am I making the right choice? Literally, any information you have will be beneficial to me. Please!!!

Another thing, I hope to get into either UCLA or Berkeley, what are my chances?
Major: English
GPA: 3.95 (Thus far, Spring quarter not included yet)
I do plan to get into clubs at PCC because it is literally a block by my house. Will that help in any way? What about other UCs? How hard will it be for me to get into those? Once again, I could use all the information you have. Please!!!
