UCLA transfer path?

I'm currently in community college, looking to transfer to UCLA. I heard about a transfer program that guarantees admission for certain California community college students. Does anyone have experience with the program or know what the requirements are? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, the program you're referring to is the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, which covers six University of California (UC) campuses, but unfortunately, UCLA is not one of them. The participating schools in TAG are UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. Each of these campuses has specific requirements for eligibility, which can be found on their respective admissions websites.

However, as a California community college student, you can still maximize your chances of being admitted to UCLA by participating in their Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) designed for students coming from California community colleges. The TAP program is a cooperative partnership between UCLA and certain participating California community colleges. Although TAP does not guarantee admission to UCLA, it offers priority consideration and additional support for eligible students.

Apart from TAP eligibility, make sure you are closely following UCLA's general transfer requirements and meeting any specific prerequisites for your intended major. As a transfer applicant, you are expected to be highly prepared for your chosen major, so it's essential to demonstrate strong achievement and preparation in relevant coursework.

Good luck with your transfer journey, and I hope this information is helpful!
