As I understand, the easiest way to get into a very good UC (Berkeley, LA, etc.) is to first study at a junior college (JC). It is easy to get a perfect grade point average (4.0). There are a number of reserves spots at UCs for JC transfers.

It’s actually easier than that. Depending on the UC many just require completing a dedicated set of courses with a 2.0 or higher with no class lower than a C and will provide guaranteed admissions as long as the criteria is met.

It’s the Transfer Admissions Guarantee program.
