Did you have your foreign academic records formally evaluated? That is what you need to do before you take this process any further. You are required to submit your foreign records when you apply to degree programs in the US. It doesn’t matter if that college/university won’t award you transfer credit and decides to make you start over from the beginning, you still need to send official copies of your records.

Check the websites of the universities that you are interested to find out which evaluation organizations are acceptable to them. Most (if not all) of the colleges and universities in the US, and the US federal government accept evaluations performed by WES. http://www.wes.org/

Once you have the official evaluations, go meet with the international admissions officers at the UCs that you are interested in, they will be able to interpret your foreign records and will be able to tell you what your options are.
