Thank you, but I should have clarified that my intention is to go for the PhD/PSYD. I feel set on going the clinical route, but I'm still unsure what specialty/specific route within clinical I'm most interested in.

This upcoming fall semester I will be starting my junior year as a transfer to a Cal State University where psychology is one of the most impacted majors on campus. My ultimate goal is to obtain at minimum a master's degree in clinical psych. In general, I just want advice on what to do in order to get there. I plan on utilizing the opportunity to try and gain some experience doing work in a research lab on campus, but my biggest concern is getting into a better program for my master's thesis since this is what I think I need. Has anyone here successfully transferred from a CSU to a UC or even Ivy league school for grad school? If so, what steps did you take to ensure your admission?
