How to Transfer to a UC from a California Community College - non-fiction/education by Lindy King

A year in the making, this comprehensive book contains everything anyone needs to know to successfully transfer to any of the nine UCs. I’m here to tell you, even if your kid, or your friend’s kid, or any kid in California tanked in high school, they can redeem themselves at a community college and transfer to Berkeley or UCLA. The UCs are very forgiving of past mistakes. The key to a successful transfer is following the often complicated rules set out by each UC campus, and having a strong college GPA. The UCs will not ask for high school grades when an applicant applies (yay!), and the student does not have to take the SAT or ACT.

How to Transfer to a UC from a California Community College: The Unofficial Guide provides a user-friendly, step-by-step breakdown, and can be approached in one of two ways: a straight linear read-through taking the applicant from day one to the final UC application, or via cherry-picking, where a reader chooses just those areas he or she needs help with.

The UCs are mandated by state law to ensure that one-third of all applicants every year are transfer students. And anywhere from 92-97% of those transfers, depending on campus, come from a CA community college. Any student who needs a second chance can greatly benefit from this book.

How to Transfer to a UC from a California Community College: The Unofficial Guide is over 577 pages, has 46 chapters, and includes an extensive Q&A, plus nine appendices. It also covers admission protocols for out of state and international transfers.

Run, don’t walk.  A UC awaits.
