<p>You can try, but I would not make any plans on going to Cal over that plan. </p>
<p>I am a transfer at Berkeley right now, and Psych is a incredibly impacted major.</p>
<p>The #1 reason people get rejected from here is missing pre-reqs, even if you have a 4.0. Finishing pre-reqs the summer before starting at Cal is generally not acceptable. You might be able to pull that plan off for a non-impacted major, but when they are doing admissions, anyone who has not completed all the pre-reqs goes right to the bottom of the pile.</p>
<p>Also, you want to be as prepared as possible if you want to come to Cal. The classes are not “harder” per se, but they are much more rigorous and intense. </p>
<p>I do not know your specific situation, where you went to school, or your reasons for wanting to get into Cal so fast, but my recommendation is to take the time at your CC and really prepare for transfer. Make sure you have all your pre-reqs, take honors classes if possible, and develop your reading and writing skills to the best they can possibly be. The level of reading and writing you are expected to be at here is leaps and bounds different than CC.</p>
<p>If you are really that bummed about staying longer at CC, take advantage of that time by doing an internship or exploring your intended major more. Like I said, the more prepared you are when you get to Cal the much better off you will be.</p>
