<p>Essays:
“well developed” and non-cliche essays</p>

<p>Can you guys please give me your honest opinions on my chances at UCB, UCLA, UCI, and UCSD electrical engineering? Also, could anyone tell me if it is possible to go into UCLA undeclared (which I hear is a lot easier), and then transfer into Henry Samueli School of Engineering? Because I really want to know because I plan on being a part of a computer science business later on. I plan on getting an engineering background then going into a business graduate school.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Bottom of the page, I wanna get re-chanced because I didn’t put that I wanted to go to HSSEAS, so I don’t know if my chances dramatically go down or not. I’ve narrowed down to four choices: Chemical Engineer, Aerospace, Electrical, or Civil. So can I get re-chanced by any chance for HSSEAS? (only got C’s in english hehe)</p>
