from a CC? CC is easier. I got into uci/ucr/ucla/ucsd with a 3.6, I am now at UCSD and we dont have a bussiness major we have a "bussiness science" which is in the econ dept.

If you're from CA and you met the Scholarship and Examination requirements, you need a 2.0 to be eligible for transfer. California Residents who "were not eligible for admission to the university when you graduated from high school because you did not meet the Scholarship (GPA) Requirement" need a 2.4. Out-of-state applicants have to have a 2.8 GPA to be eligible. I'm pretty sure this is universal for the UC system. Refer to the following admissions websites:

http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/selectionprocess.asp

http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/transfer_guide.cfm

http://www.admissions.uci.edu/as_uc_elig.html

http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/transfers/req.html

Keep in mind that these are minimum eligibility requirements, and meeting these numbers alone will probably not make you very competitive in the transfer applicant pool.

Hope that helps.

yea its really odd sometimes few of my friends with 3.0 got denied everywhere but ucla few denied at ucsd but in at cal. I think its really just a crapshot. depends on major/essays/grade trends ETC.
