Hi everyone! I’m currently a first year undergrad student of UC Riverside majoring in Computer Science. I currently have a 3.85 GPA (Fall and Winter Quarter combined). So I wasn’t really planning on transferring but since I have been doing so well academically in UCR I feel like I could potentially open some new doors by transferring. Although i’m not 100% sure about transferring right now, one year from now I want the opportunity of being able to transfer.

Anyways, I have been trying to independently research about UC inter-campus transferring but there isn’t much information I can look through online. By looking at data for acceptances for previous years, I do know that with my current GPA, I will have a great shot at getting into most UC schools. However, I am confused about prerequisites. Do I have to finish most of my prerequisites before application submission at around November or can I wait until the very last Spring Quarter of next year? Also, the different UC’s also have different prerequisites so according to my knowledge right now, I won’t be able to finish all the prerequisites for the UCs that I am applying to. So I guess most of my issues comes with the prerequisites. It’s very confusing and a bit stressful because some prerequisites for the computer science major is not required as a cs student in UCR and by taking these classes to prepare myself for transferring, it will also become useless extra credits in UCR if I stay. I’m really leaning toward transferring however, I just feel like I need a helping hand through this process.

Thanks for reading and I hope I can get some help on this topic.
