<p>Hi everyone! After being admitted into Berkeley's bioengineering major in the college of engineering, I realized it doesn't exactly contain the type of courses I want that I plan on concentrating on in grad school. My goal is to attain a post doctoral degree relating to the field Neural Engineering with a concentration in neural signaling (goal to create an advanced interpreter between computer signaling and brain signaling) and I realized that the Electrical Engineering IIB Bioeletronics track contains more of the signal processing classes that pertains to this future degree than the bioengineering degree Imaging track I originally planned on going into. Also if I did plan to get a job right after my undergrad degree before going to grad school to pay off any remaining student loans before enter grad school, A EE degree would generally pay more than a Bioengineering degree (or so it appeared on the Cal website) allowing me to pay off any loans I might have faster. Since the first two years of both tracks are nearly identical and the first year is essentially identical would it be possible for me to have a guaranteed transfer if I maintained a 3.8+ average for that first year? (hopefully a 4.0 but getting that in college I've heard is much harder than in high school).</p>
<p>PS: Thanks for taking the time to read this awfully long written statement.</p>
