It is extremely unlikely that you will be able to transfer into a UC your sophomore year. UCs give utmost priority to junior standing transfers.

I don’t think it is rational to worry about UCs not accepting 4 year transfers in the near future. This opportunity has been around for some time. I doubt we will even see much of an increase in difficulty among UC-UC or other 4 year transfers, since there are such a few number in the first place.

While at some point the UCs may have discussed accepting only CCC transfers or even no transfers whatsoever, the UCs talk about a lot of crazy stuff that they would never actually do. For example, shutting down UCSC, the 29th best public University in the nation. It is far more likely that there will be slight shifts of competitiveness over the years and a slight shift of more out of state students being accepted.

You can look around these boards and see that there are plenty of CSU-UC transfers or UC-UC transfers who have no problem transferring when they have the proper GPA. If you can attain a competitive GPA, you should be able to transfer if that is ultimately your goal.
