Applied and admitted are totals for 2021–22 through 2024–25, full academic years. "All CCCs" is the same figure for every California community college combined. Admitted GPA is UC's average transfer GPA of the students it admitted, pooled across the four years. Fall 2025 is admitted / applied for fall entry only. Campuses marked TAG offer a Transfer Admission Guarantee. UC hides admit counts under 3; "≈" means one or more years were hidden and counted as 1. "—" means fewer than 20 applicants.

Transfer applicants for fall entry, totals for Fall 2021 through Fall 2024. "Any Cal State" counts each student once however many campuses they applied to. "All CCCs" is the same rate for every California community college combined. Fall 2025 is admitted / applied. CSU hides any group under 10: "≈" means a hidden admit count was counted as 5, "—" means fewer than 20 applicants. CSU counts every application filed, including ones later withdrawn or left incomplete, so its admit rates read lower than a campus's own.
