Pick the one you want to study and let the chips fall where they may.
I just really want to go to UCI :(, also would the rigor of my courses account for my poor gpa?
@TimforCS Somewhat? Most applicants have a good amount of honors courses or APs anyways. Hoping 2 get into UCI CS also. Their test score averages are low so hopefully our SATs are enough
@LomoKuan I’m applying Electrical Engineering or Computer science and engineering (100% acceptance rate for some reason) still deciding but UCI would be perfect for me
I think you’re a bit desperate. Look you have good ecs but nothing related to your major. Also your gpa is a bit low for the CS and EE which is a bit hard to get into. Maybe try getting your SAT up before. Overall I think you’re a good applicant for these schools so test your luck.
Tim, L&S CS is easier than EECS for berkeley. For UCLA, I think the CS and CSE are both under engineering, IIRC. At UCLA, under L&S is something like Computing not Computer Science.
Wikipedia has the number for ucla. Let me see if I can post the link. Here it is, more CS than CSE.

@DrGoogle Can you be more specific as to what you want me to look at? I am not sure what you want me to look at.
It’s in response to your post #13. CS is more competitive than CSE under engineeniring at UCLA. The link in my post shows that there are more CS majors than CSE majors at UCLA, hence it’s more competitive than CSE . Follow the same idea for transfer applicant.
Oh alright cool thanks I am more interested in CSE anyway, but would that be considered a double major?

Here is another that I was unable together at work, internet was slow.
It shows the admit rate for each major in engineering. For 2014-2015 CS was 8.3% vs CSE was 12.5%
Just in case, how hard is it to switch between like CSE to EE if I don’t like it?
EE is much easier because you can see the admit rate is very high. You need to keep high GPA then it’s easy. I think it’s easier because it’s not as compacted.

Hope the link about is helpful. It seems like non impacted major is easier to switch.
Bump please!
