If you do attempt this, you’ll be ineligible to transfer to Santa Barbara and San Diego, which would be good backups if Berkeley and UCLA don’t accept you. SB and SD count total units, with a firm limit of 89, not the Berkeley and UCLA way where as long as you have fewer than 80 4-year units, you can have as many CCC units as you like. Santa Cruz has the same policy as SB and SD.

So if you tried to get into Cal and failed, you’d be left with Irvine, where you can’t TAG (Irvine’s TAG doesn’t apply to students who have ever attended a non-CCC institution), Riverside, and Merced. Davis is technically possible, but unlikely.

Just stay at USC. It’s only a year and a half, and it’s a great school.
