OOS w AAS from dual enrollment - transfer to UC?

  1. What UC’s would she be targeting as a Freshman applicant vs. a Transfer applicant? Or would they be the same campuses?

  2. OOS admit rates vary by UC campus and major for both type of applicants.

  3. OOS applicants have the lowest transfer priority for the UC’s and as a Transfer, meeting the UC requirements can make it more difficult for an OOS applicant due to course articulation. The hierarchy is as follows: California CC Transfers, then UC to UC Transfers, Cal State to UC Transfers, Private CA University Transfers and finally OOS Transfers.

  4. No guarantee all her AA courses would be accepted by the UC’s so she may need more than 2 years as a Transfer to complete her degree.

So if she does not apply as a Freshman to the UC’s, there are plenty of other schools especially in-state WA schools where she could get a great education and at reasonable cost especially if she is going in with AA degree. Why the UC’s?

As a Psych major, you also need to consider graduate school.
