<p>After two years of berkeley, I truly realize that this school is not for me and causes me so much undue stress that I am truly not happy here. I am considering transferring into ucsb or uc davis’s winter quarter 2011 after my spring sophomore semester at berkeley. I was wondering how difficult this is…normally this would seem like a shoe in but the problem is my grades aren’t too stellar. I only have a 3.2 in mostly humanities classes (with a focus on political science and history) with 41 units, and 13 of those are pass/fail, and im only taking 9 units spring semester due to mental health concerns…</p>
<p>Talk to an academic advisor, because I’m pretty sure you have good enough grades to transfer to either of those schools, especially if you’re a humanities major.</p>
<p>And if I may make a suggestion, there’s a program that lets you go to another UC to study for 1 quarter. I’m not sure how that works out with the semester/quarter system, but you might wanna consider it to find out which UC works best for you (although technically they say that there has to be good reason to do so, like your school doesn’t offer a particular class, or you really wanna study with a particular professor, I’m pretty sure it isn’t that difficult.</p>
<p>Awwww 
I hope everything works out!</p>
<p>3.2 should be high enough for those schools, I would think. You may need to complete some general ed requirements before transfer, though. You should look into this carefully.</p>
<p>What you want to do is an “intercampus transfer.”</p>
<p>To be competitive, you should complete the general education and major prerequisite requirements at Cal prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from Cal to fulfill the requirements at UCSB or UCD.</p>
<p>All the UC campuses have closed the application cycle for Winter and Spring due to budget constraints. Your next available opportunity for transfer is Fall 2011 (application cycle is November 2010).</p>
<p>I would suggest for you to call the admissions office at UCSB and UCD to find out if intercampus transfer applicants receive priority consideration. Generally CCC applicants receive priority consideration and it’s up to each campus to determine the priority for intercampus transfers.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you may consider withdrawing from Cal and move to a CCC. You may qualify for Transfer Admission Guarantee at various UC campuses if you stay at the CCC for at least a year.</p>
