Last updated: Sep 27, 2025
Understanding transfer admission rates, requirements, and trends helps you make informed decisions. This guide summarizes how to interpret UC transfer data and where to find deeper breakdowns.
Transfer admission statistics
Key metrics to watch:
- Applicants: total transfer applicants for a campus.
- Admits: accepted applicants.
- Enrolls: admitted students who enrolled.
- Admit GPA range: typical GPA band for accepted transfers.
- Enroll GPA range: GPA band of enrolled transfers.
- Admit rate: admits ÷ applicants.
- Yield rate: enrolls ÷ admits.
These numbers vary by year, campus, and major. Always verify with official UC sources.

How to apply the data
- Compare your GPA to admit/enroll ranges.
- Prioritize major preparation in highly selective majors.
- Use admit rate + yield to balance reach and match schools.
- Track trend direction (improving or tightening) to adjust strategy.
