<p>i’m not too sure how many units they took each quarter, but i’m sure they did not overload. UCI accepts sophmore transfers so as long as you do alright at UCR you should be accepted. One of my friends actually did a double transfer UCR > UCI > UCLA, he was a poli sci major. </p>
<p>the poli sci major had about a 3.8 gpa while my other friend, a bio major had aobut a 3.4ish gpa.</p>
<p>if you can’t get in, try for a junior transfer, i got into ucsd. i recently visited UCI (second time there) and it seems like an awesome place. I like the environment, the city, the cleanliness of irvine. i’d definitely recommend UCI over UCR anyday.</p>
