<p>Based solely on the info above, would i survive SLO’s mechE program? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, I know many engineers here. I misread your first post though, as I really don't know if you will survive. A lot of people transfer out of engineering, not matter how good their stats are. I've heard that engineers who graduate are the ones who can accept failure. Almost every engineer fails a class here. How well you deal with that is the key to "survival." That is hard to measure with stats. As far as getting in, I think you have a good shot. The avg SAT for engineers is around 1280, so you're right in the middle of the pack. It's good that your math SAT is higher than your verbal. Your gpa is exceptional, so I think that's what will get you in.</p>
<p>I liked the red brick dorms. i'd stay away from tenaya, as it's all engineering, but any of the others would be good choices. They have study halls/quiet rooms inside, and many people are in the same major.</p>
