From Santa Clara to UC Hastings

Finding not a ton of information or data points about transfer applications to UC Hastings up in the city.
I mainly want to transfer for prospective jobs and family up in SF, the commute is getting to be crazy.

Wondering if anyone has any input or advice on how to stand out, I have a 3.2 at SCU and I know I need to ramp it up this finals season to beef up my application...

All thoughts welcome! Thanks!

Not really too much insight for anyone to give aside from get your grades as high as possible, get good letters of rec from profs you're close to and performed well in their class. Check out the 509 report for gpa percentiles and schools they accepted transfers from. You're a touch above their 25th percentile gpa for transfers, so like you said, gonna want to step that up. Probably biggest consideration for transfer will be if you're getting money at your current school vs. paying full boat at Hastings. I'm not super knowledgeable on the two schools but I imagine that would be worth the jump in rankings.
