<p>I admire the ambition of those that come here seeking advice on how transfer as a sophomore or finish CC in just one year. It is my understanding though that when you apply to transfer as a sophomore you are more or less put into a category where you compete for admission with high school seniors. Junior transfers don’t need to do this, but as a sophomore transfer you would still have to submit high school transcripts, SAT’s, test scores, etc, and as such, your probability of admission (compared to junior transfers) is lowered a great deal.</p>
<p>Here is a different scenario that might shed some light on your question:</p>

<p>A student who is a college freshman in a different state wants to live in California next year and attend a UC campus. Could he apply as a sophomore transfer student?</p>
<pre><code>Most UC campuses only accept junior-level transfer students, but he could contact the admissions office at the campus he wants to attend for further advice about his options. To be eligible for transfer as a sophomore, a student would have had to be UC eligible out of high school, as though he were applying as a freshman.
