Agree that this will be another issue for you. You will lose credits if the UCās donāt accept some of your coursework. Their course descriptions are very specific. Iāve had students from other universities, who are in the same counties, where the local UC will not accept certain courses.
Everyone is vying for exceptional grades, in a quarter system.
Because you are in a semester system, it will be a tough transition to 10 week courses. The high schools in California, mostly transitioned to a āquarter type systemā years ago to acclimate their students to the rapid rate of the UCs. Will you be prepared for that?
Your previous posts indicate that you were originally applying to schools that had āmagazine rankingsā. Other posters here have indicated schools that may work better for you. No one cares what university you attend as long as you have a diploma.
The UCās are extremely competitive, not only for grades, but also for courses. They are obligated to prioritize, in-state residents and California community college transfers. Plus, any available internships may be limited to you because of your history of grades. Employers do ask for transcripts.
California will gladly accept your money at full fees, but there is so much pressure by the taxpaying residents of California to have their children attend California public universities, that the State is obligated to its residents.
I would suggest that you stop looking at rankings and focus on the current school and your grades and developing relationships with your peers and professors. Youāre going to need letters of recommendation from your professors and if you donāt like your school, and you donāt like your professors, those LORs are not going to happen.
