<p>If you’re transferring because you want to go to a more “prestigious” school, why would you even bother applying to ucla? It really isn’t that much more prestigious than uci, to be honest, and it definitely isn’t worth the effort of transferring and having to form a new social circle.</p>
<p>if you’re really set on transferring, apply to schools where you might actually have a decent shot at getting a finance job (if that’s what you want) like cornell (and other ivies), vanderbilt, carnegie mellon, and maybe berkeley.</p>
<p>btw, you have absolutely no chance of transferring into another UC if you haven’t completed all the lower division prereqs for that campus. Like, it wouldn’t matter if you had a 4.0 gpa.</p>
