i’m considering going to UCSB for my freshman year then transfer out, if that fails, then after my sophomore year, try again. if that fails, then i guess i’ll be the UCSB c/o 2012

If you’re thinking of another UC, they only accept transfers for the junior year.

He really wanted UCLA but we all know how hard that was. I wonder what it takes to transfer. I’ve always heard those spots are “saved” for community college kids with the theory being if you already have a spot at a UC, give the CC student a chance.

A significant number of spots are saved for CC kids as part of the State Master Plan on Education, but not all. Here are recent UCLA transfer stats. [UCLA Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students, Fall 2007](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof07.htm)
