<p>For UCs, they always say that it’s way easier for CC students to transfer and emphasize how hard it is to transfer from other UCs and CSUs. I live in San Diego, and I’m always hearing “You’re guaranteed to get in” to those going to CC and transferring to UCSD. However, I can’t be sure of how accurate that is, because sometimes it seems they just want to deter applications from other state schools. Just do your best and apply if you’re still considering after a couple semesters/years. Like someone else said, you already have a shot at UNC.</p>
