Potential UO to UCLA transfer?

Okay so I will start off with my background information,

I will be a freshman at UO next year and have current residency in New Mexico. I had a 1940 (one sitting) SAT score and a 3.4 UW, 3.7 W GPA. I know high school stats start to become irrelevant as a transfer student, but anyway, my grades were not good enough to get me into UCLA as an entering freshman.

My parents are moving to Los Angeles while I will be a freshman at UO, and thus my residency would change (right?). Due to money issues my parents would rather me transfer to UCLA and get in state tuition, which I am completely for since it’s a great school.

So I have a few questions…
I understand that it’s difficult to transfer from any university to a UC, has anyone done this? What did it take you to be able to transfer, and what would it take me to be able to transfer?

Additionally, would it just be best for me to attend a community college first and then transfer to UCLA? (I understand that chances are much higher of transferring that way.)

Sorry if this situation is complicated, I can explain further if needed!
