Hi, I’m going to be a freshman this fall semester at CUNY Queens College in NYC, and I would like to transfer to UCLA after my sophomore year. I couldn’t apply to UCLA for my freshman year because I really slacked off my first two years of high school. However, I had a 4.0 for my junior and senior years of high school and I got a 2190 on the SATs. I’ve taken a couple of college courses before (while in high school) and I will be able to maintain a GPA of a 3.8 or above at CUNY Queens College (not to sound pretentious).

What are my chances of transferring from CUNY Queens College to UCLA with a 3.8 GPA or higher with junior-level standing? How can I make sure that my credits will transfer over? Have you or anyone that you know of transferred from Queens college or any CUNY school to UCLA or any UC school?

What can I do to give myself the best possible chance of being accepted as an OOS transfer student into UCLA? Will taking certain courses help? Will taking part in a lot of ECs and volunteering make a difference?

Thank you
