<p>Are you competing against freshman? No. You will need to meet the transfer selection requirements for the campuses you apply to. Please research which campuses are open to lower division transfers (sophomore level). Although not much help today, [University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_majors.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_majors.html) will list which campuses and majors will consider lower division transfers. As an example at UC Davis only the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences will consider lower division transfers.</p>
<p>Please note, to be eligible as a lower division transfer you must have met UC freshman eligibility requirements as a high school student. If you did not complete the A-G or examination requirements before you graduated high school then you must complete requirements to apply as a Junior level student. This doesn’t mean that you are competing against freshman applicants; it only means that you must have met the UC freshman requirements that were in place the year you graduated high school. Please see the lower division transfer information at [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/admission_reqs.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/admission_reqs.html) for more information.</p>
