<p>@GAMERFORLIFE40 my point was that UCLA is going to be highly competitive for transfers. They have articulation agreements with certain CCCs <a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/articulation-agreements.html”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/articulation-agreements.html</a> which essentially give those students priority. Calling UCLA a backup is IMO unrealistic.</p>
