2013 Admitted Electrical Engineering Majors Help!

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I did some search but had no luck finding electrical engineers who got into UC's, especially for UCLA and UCB. Could 2013 Electrical Engineering majors who got admitted to UCLA and UCB post their stats if you guys don't mind? I really would like something for me to compare my stats to and see where I am at.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot guys!</p>

<p>for UCLA take a look at this: <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm[/url]”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm&lt;/a&gt; I’m sure if you can look you can find similar stats for other colleges.</p>

<p>UCB doesn’t have an EE major, it’s just EECS.</p>

<p>I transferred to Berkeley two years ago, I’m more focused on CS but I’m still EECS. 3.7ish GPA during application time, finished as many pre-reqs as I could, none of 61ABC, 70, 20N, or 40. Had a ton of CS classes, and a circuits class. A couple techy EC things, pet projects, math competitions, robotics, etc. Was probably towards the lower end of students they accepted.</p>

<p>Here are the (general) decision threads from last year for UCLA and UCB… there should be some EE/EECS students and their stats mixed into those.</p>

(I don’t know what page decisions start in that thread… you’ll have to dig a bit.)</p>

<p>I transferred to Berkeley EECS Fall 2013. I had a 3.89 GPA (4.0 for major prep classes), and I had credit for CS61B. My extra curriculars weren’t stellar, and I think my personal statements were pretty good. I was rejected from UCLA. Good luck!</p>
