Awww but the thing is, I’m done with my French major classes at CSU (SFSU) which means I am able to graduate anytime I want. I’m just starting on my pre-rep + core course for business admin. major.

I did not realize you had so many units. You are probably not eligible to transfer to a UC school. Here is an excerpt from the FAQ at UCLA; all the UC’s have the same rules on who is eligible.

Q: I am in senior standing at my four-year institution; can I disregard some of my courses so that I am eligible to apply to your school?

A: UCLA only admits transfer students from 4-year institutions who are at the junior level (minimum 60/90 semester/quarter units; maximum 86/129 semester/quarter units). We do not allow students to disregard any transferable coursework. (You must report all attempted college work, even if you do not think it is transferable or do not want the credit.) Therefore, a senior at a 4-year institution is not likely to be admitted.

Rather than relying on this forum, given your special circumstances, you should call the admissions office at a UC and talk to them.
