Some California Community Colleges are UCLA TAP certified. TAP does not guarantee the admission, but your chance of admission will be increased.
One of our local CCs is UCLA TAP certified and the students who are in TAP program there have 75% transfer rate to UCLA.
Also the transfer students from California Community Colleges have top priorities for UC transfers.
However I have heard a lot of success stories of UCR students transferring to UCLA.
@SweetCaliforniaWeather-12 also, transferring from a CSU to a UC is much more difficult than going from a CC to a UC. I think you should research the steps and decide if you want to do it.
@hoppy1 transfering to ucla school of film?
@lowkeyveryhighkey
@s area only what is it about the UCSC environment that you hate? We haven’t visited the campus as yet…
Thank you for your message. No, my oldest did not appeal, but he is doing great at CC and as of now he has a guaranteed admission to UCI or UCSB or UCD for next fall.
My oldest applied for UCI political science and my other son applied for UCI quantitative economics, not highly impacted CS or engineering or even biology.
I do not know the details of each major. You should be able to find the data if you research.
@hoppy1 That’s a great choice to go the CC route with guaranteed admission to the 3 UCs. Good luck to your boys.
I was thinking about going to northern Arizona university, is that a good school for a psychology major or no?
Waitlisted for UCI for Business Econ. I do have admission from CSUF for pre business and Chapman for Business Admin. Any recommendations for CSUF vs Chapman if not considering the cost?
@SmartGurl17 my daughter chose UCSC… they have been awesome throughout the entire application process. Very good sign for how the school communicates with its students and families overall. They also emailed her yesterday that she got a $30k scholarship!! we are so happy with UCSC!!!
Aww, so sorry to hear @lilaclily. Best of luck at whichever school you choose!

Just wondering why you prefer not to go to a community college over CSUN For film SweetCaliforniaWeather. I assume you live in SoCal.
waitlisted! i wanna die
I hear a lot of good things about Santa Monica college. Also when I took classes at Los Angeles Valley College back in 2015 there were CSUN students in my classes because of how crowded it is at the CSUs.
If you want to be a filmmaker you have a long road ahead of you regardless of where you go to school. Your network is more important than your dream school.
I think people are falling in love with brand recognition when the first thing you need to do is have life experiences. Nobody really knows anything as an undergrad no matter where you go to school. Just enjoy the fact that you have an opportunity to do something that many others want to but cannot.
People say all that hard work for nothing…didn’t you need to graduate from high school regardless? The extra work was a choice that makes you a more well rounded individual regardless of where you decide to attend in the fall. College is hard and I think the current statistic is that 50% of all that start out don’t finish. Your focus should be on buying into where you will be spending the next 2-4 years and making the most of the people and the experiences before life catches up and you have responsibilities.
Also congrats to all the future Anteaters! Your hard work to get to UCI should be commended. The work is just starting, it’s no where near over. Remember to work hard, but also make time to make friends and enjoy the on campus events and develop a social life (it doesn’t naturally happen for everyone!).
UCI knows where it’s located and they bring a lot of fun events and activities to try and make things more interesting. Join a club and get involved. Don’t just sit in your dorms, you aren’t the only person not from around there. Even if you form study groups those contacts will stay with you from quarter to quarter.
UCs and CSUs have different requirements for General Education and major related classes. A lot of CSU credits are not transferable to UCs, that is why it is hard to transfer from CSUs to UCs.
