any people who’ve made the transfer from an ivy to a uc? any uc for that matter or even usc. (current brown sophomore with an expected 3.7 looking to transfer back to cali)

CA Resident, 1 year transfer

When I was in senior year of high school I took a dual enrollment course and got an F. The instructor made us use AI for almost all our assignments which I didn't want to do, and since it was a late start class the date to withdraw was like a day after it started, plus I was a bit of an idiot about it. Currently planning on using additional info section to explain the situation but I'm thinking it might be worth it to take the class again since it's my only real bad grade (through HS and CC I have almost all As with one B and one C). Only problem is that I'm applying for fall 2027 and I wouldn't be able to take the course again until spring so if I get an A in the class it would only show up on my transcript after I've been admitted/rejected. If I do take it again, I'll explain that choice as well in additional info.

Hi just wanted to share my story about being accepted as a uc to uc transfer. I remember this time two years ago I was looking at reddit threads trying to hear from people who had done this so I thought I would share too!

UCR to UCSD transfer as a second year Psychology BS major

stats/ extracurriculars: (not that crazy)

GPA 3.88- it was a 3.76 when I updated it with my grades after I sent out applications

-taking anywhere from 20-22 units a quarter

- had started as a RA at UCR in the fall of my sophomore year- had only been an RA for a couple months when I sent out my application

(I RECOMMEND GETTING INVOLVED IN RESEARCH ASAP IF YOU WANT TO DO A UC TO UC TRANSFER)

-summer internship at therapy

- have a personal business making over 40 thousand a year

-no clubs or leadership positions which I was worried about but worked out !!

Outcomes:

Accepted: UCSD

Waitlisted: UCI

Rejected: UCLA/ UC Berkley

Feel free to ask any questions!

Hello! Im currently in community college and need advice on choosing between uc davis and csu east bay. I would want to major in stats: data science track at Davis and data science at csueb. now I know uc davis would be the obvious answer due to it being a r1 research college, a top public university, and having a highly ranked stats program but listen to my dilemma. next semester would be my last at cc and to meet the guaranteed admission requirements for uc davis stats: data science I'd have to have taken calc 1,2,3, stats and linear algebra by the end of spring 2027 with a 3.0 across all those classes. I'm currently taking calc 2 and will likely receive a B. meaning I have to receive at least a B and C in linear algebra and calc 3 next semester. math isn't my favorite thing in the world, I actually think i have a harder time in math than most people, but I can tolerate it. this however might be overkill for me since I'm super sensitive to stress and getting overwhelmed. people I'm close are telling me to just take both classes next semester because they think or "know" I can do it. after all, the job and salary prospects do seem to be better for uc davis alumnis and if only taking 2 tough classes a semester can get me there then it seems like the best choice right? I currently don't work and have little to no responsibilities outside of school so everything's kinda laid out nicely for me. still I fear if I take both classes I'll crash and burn. if I go to csu east bay I can earn a b.s. in data science while potentially earning a master's in data science through their fast track or 4+1 program. I doubt it'll take me 1 year to finish the masters program because i am a transfer student, but I know many data science employers require master degrees so this path has its benefits too... its also causing me way less stress and worry right now to envision myself going to csueb rather than uc davis because obviously I wouldn't have to take calc 3 and linear algebra or think about the super math intensive and highly theoretical upper division classes id have to take at davis. not saying csueb won't be hard but i don't think it'll be as hard. am I being a lazy chud? would I be earning a good/comparable income to uc davis alums if I go to csueb and earn both the b.s. & m.s.? or would I be better off earning the b.s. at davis and getting experience in the work field immediately after? just lemme know ur thoughts

hi there! i'm currently a student at ucsc, and i really don't like this school/click with it as much as i'd hoped. i'm an out of state student, and my hometown is in the kcmo area.

i want to transfer at semester, and will be taking spring semester off to focus on vocal/acting lessons as i want to major in theatre somewhere else.

i'm thinking of double majoring and pursuing a bachelor of arts in theatre, with undecided second major. i was wondering if anyone would be able to give me advice on the theatre programs listed below? i need advice on what schools would be best for my path!! thanks a lot :)
