The process is, you complete as many pre-requisite courses for your intended major while maintaining a high GPA. You must also have at least 90 quarter units by the end of the spring quarter (or semester, w/e system you go by) before you transfer. That’s basically all there is to it.

As far as priority for transfer admissions go, applicants from California community colleges get highest priority. Everyone else has lower priority. This is reflected in UCLA’s profile of admitted students from outside of California:

As you can see, it’s competitive coming from OOS, so if it’s possible, you should think about moving to CA first and attending a CCC for a couple of semesters.
