<p>Having reread your initial post @bearly, why not just stay one more year at UCI? </p>
<p>The start of my original post was UC-UC transfer noting how it is not as difficult as ppl make it out to be. (I kind of awkwardly veered from UC-UC to UC-CCC-UC.). </p>
<p>Anyway, referring to UC-UC, UCLA is pretty open to it, UCB not as much, but still doable. I think the difficulty of it has been way overblown. Plus, you have a very strong GPA. That seems like the best plan in my mind - but I think you know, I do not replace a counselor.</p>
