After Acceptance Letters...

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, my name is alex. </p>

<p>So I applied to UCSD and UCLA for computer engineering. For berkeley, I didn't expect to get in if i applied for EECS, so instead I applied for toxicology. It ended up being, I got into UCSD-warren- and I got rejected from LA. I also got accepted to berkeley! I really like berkeley but I don't want to do toxicology. I wanted to transfer or somehow get into EECS. Should i just go to UCSD or try my luck and go to berkeley while trying to transfer into EECS. Do you guys think I have a chance at Berkeley. I know transferring requires a high GPA, I'm sure its quite difficult at berkeley.</p>

<p>Also, should I appeal to LA? What are the chances of them reaccepting me?</p>

<p>Not only this, I also got into Carnegie Mellon, is it a good school? my sister said the location and environment isn't so great and all she did was study. I want to go into a well rounded college so I have doubts going to EECS there. I just want to see any suggestions about CMU.</p>

<p>If you think I should go to berkeley and i do have a fighting chance(switch from toxicology to eecs), what do you guys recommend i should do freshman year?</p>

<p>thanks so much</p>

<p>Well if you expected to get in doing a major that you didn't want, why did you apply for it? It seems to me that if you loved the school so much and wouldn't go under another major you should have taken your chances doing what you want.
Seems to me that if Berkeley really is your dream school, you should go there and try to work it out to get what you want. On the other hand, you don't want to be stuck doing something you hate.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
