<p>Hm, it is in fact just several % lower, not by the tens or anything. I wonder what’s the buzz going around about the extreme difficulty/risk in doing UC to UC transfer?</p>
<p>I’m not too worried grade-wise if I went down the CC route, but I can see what you mean about delaying the transferring because getting classes in itself is tough (especially this late for fall). Then again on the bright side, if I transferred after my 3rd instead of 2nd is I’d have more time to strengthen my ECs (which is my main weakness) and I guess just in general have more time to decide/prepare.</p>
<p>I read that a big part of transferring other than GPA was completing pre-reqs, and for certain majors (like engineering majors) some people had to do 3 years at CC before transferring. To be honest I wouldn’t mind the delay (I almost welcome it), but I could be saying that only because of the fact that I have to submit an application in a few months, which feels daunting/rushed [I’ve only come to light about my regret in enrolling at UCI and wishing I had done CC-transfer this summer].</p>
