I’ve been stalking this page since last year, and now the time has come for me to start seriously thinking about my UC applications for this Fall. For those that were successful in transferring to a UC (particularly UC Berkeley as it’s my target but all are welcome), when did you start prepping and writing your PIQs? How soon did you start filling your application out after they were released? Did any of you use the UC TAP as well? Thank you so much in advance, I am looking forward to any and all advice.

still on the waitlist for ucsd international business 💔💔 gonna call it quits soon 💔💔

Hi everyone! I’m planning on applying to transfer for Fall 2027. I am a business and econ double major at my cc. My main major is business, but I wanted to apply to UCLA for one of their econ degrees. I heard UCLA prefers if you have your major prep done by fall semester you are applying. I will have all of my major prep done for econ (finishing calc 2 this fall). I am wondering if I should just apply for econ instead of bizecon because I heard bizecon is heavily impacted. However, I am also considering just applying for biz econ despite not having financial and managerial accounting done because my ecs are more business related (I would have financial accounting completed by fall). Am I better off applying to econ or bizecon?

I’ve noticed some people getting rejected off the waitlist, who else is still on it, and for what major?

I'm currently enrolled at a 4-year university but plan to transfer to a UC.

For CCC transfer priority, do I need to leave my 4-year before Fall, or is it enough to withdraw before Spring so that my last regular term is at a California community college?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi guys! I’m an incoming freshman at a top CC for transfer, but I really need advice on maybe switching my major.

I’m currently a Business Admin major looking to transfer to UCLA for Business Economics, but after seeing the statistics I feel a little discouraged if I’ll be able to get in compared to those who have more quantitative passions.

I’m interested in business cause through Highschool I ran my own clothing business and was a big fan of managing it, but I’ve kinda lost that spark. I am still leaning towards business just cause it’s such a broad field and I’m able to go so many routes.

I’m really good at writing, and I’m also decently interested in computer science since I took a few courses and struggled but enjoyed how it felt to make something. I am drawn towards a career in film too since I’ve always been a fan of media. I’m kinda trash at math though I’m taking the time over the summer to improve and take precalculus.

My main concern is getting a nice job post grad that pays well. I don’t mind not lovinggggg what I do just not hating it. I’m considering the bus econ route and minoring in something creative so I can work in the industries I admire while still getting paid well.

I know I’m interests and strengths are kinda all over the place but any guidance would be pretty helpful. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have a quick question about reporting non-transferable foreign college coursework on the UC application. Before starting community college in the US, I took a few non-transferable classes at a two years college back in my country.

I’m reporting the school since UC requires all post-secondary history, but because of political upheaval over there and internal school policies, there is physically no way for me or the school to send an official paper transcript.
I only have an unofficial semester grade report saved. For anyone who has experienced this, how did you handle it? Will I get rejected if I cannot provide an official transcript after my admission? Can I request for a waiver? I feel like I can’t get into any university anymore because of this.

Is anyone still on the waitlist as a math major? As far as I could tell, very little math majors who were waitlisted actually got off (excluding international wave). I'm wondering if this was a cooked cycle for math majors

im an upcoming 2nd year at lmu and wondering abt ppl with similar experiences and their stats that either got accepted or rejected from usc transfer. my cumulated gpa for first yr was not great, right under a 3.0 (got the same gpa both semesters) honestly just disappointed that i didnt try harder. but im planning to apply to transfer to usc dornsife for my junior year. my ec's consist of one job, few clubs, in a sorority, thats it. im wondering if i can magically get a gpa of 3.5+ this fall if thatll help even tho my current gpa is kinda low. any advice on my chances and what i can improve on to better my chances?
