Will transferring after one year hurt my chances?

I’m going to start at community college this fall and my plan is to transfer to UCSB as an economics major after one year. Half of IGETC is covered by all of my AP scores, and I’ll have completed the second half by spring 2017. The transferable credits add up to 63, so that requirement is covered as well. I’ll have finished the calculus and macroeconomics requirement by the end of fall, but I’m taking microeconomics in the spring. I’m also in the honors program. Since I haven’t started yet I haven’t been able to get involved but I’m looking into the clubs and am trying to get started on volunteer service before school starts.

I’m worried, though, that UCSB or the other campuses will look down on my transferring after one year and taking microecon in the spring… Do I still have a shot at getting in?
