Options to transfer to UCLA

One or two more thoughts if you go the CC approach. In order to be a competitive applicant for transfer you’ll want to complete as much of the major prep as you can so look carefully at ASSIST and the UCLA website to understand what you should take. I would prioritize that over IGETC which really shouldn’t matter all that much to you anyway since you’ll be at UCLA for 3 years and have plenty of time for GE classes should you need any.

Another hurdle is that the only CC grades UCLA will have from you is the winter update, compared to the 3 semesters of grades for those spending 2 years at a CC. You might strengthen your case a bit by taking summer school classes at your CC this summer (and doing well) so they have those grades also. Try to load up the major prep classes fall semester so they’ll have those grades to look at. And as a CC student this summer you’d be able to start working with the xfer center and talking to the UC counselor if they come by in the summer.
