- I would probably consider going back to the CC. Exceeding the Unit cap is only really important if you have taken any Upper division courses. For lower division courses, only 70 units will transfer and the rest will be given subject credit. As an OOS transfer, you will be given the lowest priority for the UC’s, so make sure you have a backup plan.
Some UC Transfer admission information:
Total applicants Campus wide: 34,559
OOS applicants: 1,017 and 257 admitted.
OOS applicants admitted by UC campus:
UCB: 23
UCD: 55
UCI: 8
UCLA: 36
UCM: 19
UCR: 66
UCSD: 85
UCSB: 57
UCSC: 36

You will be treated as a CC transfer if all your units are lower division but unless you attend a California CC with a minimum 30 units prior to transfer, you will be considered an OOS transfer.
-
No better priority.
-
Do you have any upper division courses? If so, then they can be an issue and several UC’s do not accept High unit Junior level transfers.
-
This should not be an issue as long as all classes are lower division courses.
Here is the UC transfer GPA admit ranges by campus and major to gauge your chances. What you need to determine is your UC transferable GPA.
