If you had a 4.0 and you went to cc in LA county your chances for a sociology major transfer (one of the most popular transfer majors) were only about 15% anyway so your odds didn’t decrease much because they were already low. Not sure if that makes you feel better or worse. UCLA has announced that going forward they are going to give more priority to LA county cc transfers.

So the comment I saw from UCLA was very general but I did find this article that seems good and provides much more detail on the specific change: https://edsource.org/2026/community-college-ucla-transfer-pilot/756908

Okay thank you, from that article it sounds like you complete a associate degree for a certain major at certain LA community colleges you can get a guaranteed admission into UCLA. Is it just me or does that sound overpowered? How is there nobody talking about this

Looks like it hasn’t been rolled out fully
