Darlene Said:

Can I transfer from UCSB to UC Berkeley as an international student?

We Answered:

What you want to do is an intercampus transfer. Most UC campuses discourage intercampus transfer; only applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer are likely to be considered for acceptance. UCLA is the only exception and gives the same priority to intercampus transfer applicants as CA community college transfer applicants.

To be competitive for intercampus transfer, you should complete the general education and major prerequisite requirements at your campus prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from your campus to fulfill the requirements at the other UC campus.

International student from community college transfer to UC?

We Answered:

Since you are transferring from a community college, it is easier to get in to a UC, just as long as you maintain a high GPA. You don't need to join any extracurricular activities. I would suggest you join the honors program, that is what I did, and I was accepted to UCI.

In UC Berkeley, is Financial Aid need-blind/need-based for international students?

We Answered:

There is no government provided financial aid for international students and there are very few private scholarships available for international students. Your best bet would be seeking financial aid from your native country for studying abroad.

Emma Said:

UC Application question for International Students?

We Answered:

Your high school transcript is important simply because they need to know that you graduated from high school. Talk to the admissions department, but my guess is that you'll have to get your hands on your transcript no matter how hard it is to get.
