<p>UC wants junior transfers, that means you’re supposed to apply during your sophomore year. You should have 60 credits by the time you transfer, otherwise your chances are very very low. Pretty sure applications are due in November.</p>
<p>CCC: Yes, you get priority. But the academics tend to be worse than they are at a 4 year school, so you may have to deal with a couple bad teachers if you go that route. The good news is that it’s much cheaper, and the articulations are easy to find so there’s less guessing for transfers.</p>
<p>For acceptance rates, public schools tend to accept more transfers, especially from in-state CCs. I would suggest applying for multiple schools, maybe put in apps for your reaches as well (unless it’s a 0.1% chance or something). And apply to a couple different UCs, so you’ll have options and safeties. :)</p>
<p>As for what to do now, first of all find your old course syllabuses and save them. You’ll probably need them to get coursework evaluated at UC, and possibly at CC as well (for IGETC or pre-reqs). Then open up assist.org and see where you stand for your major for the UCs you’re interested in. Do they want IGETC/GE requirements? Are there major requirements? Are you on track? You’ll have to guess at articulations, but that’s usually not hard to figure out.</p>
<p>You might also want to look into TAG (transfer admission guarantee). Each school has different requirements, some will let you TAG even if you only do one year at a CCC. Those are due September-ish (I think?) of your sophomore year, if you’re interested in it.</p>
