It’s hard to go from UC to UC.



Correct. And you need a REALLY good reason for the adcoms to take you over a juco transfer. (‘better prestige’ is not a good reason) Remember, adcoms will see that you are already at a four-year UC, whereas the juco applicant has no where else to go.



I know I saved a ton of money leaving private school…



That is a good reason.

Academics are another. For example, you want an undergrad major in biz, but SB does not offer it, so apply to Cal-Haas.
