Best way to transfer into a UC is to come back to CA for a year and attend a CC. UCs take California CC transfers BEFORE transfers of any other type. It may feel like an odd few steps, but I have met a lot of students from good 4years who did that zig-zag route through a CCC into a UC. Would you qualify for a Cal Grant here (often parent income under about 70K but check that number). If so, UCs should be quite affordable. Other privates might not give you as a transfer student enough aid.
