College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>hi i am a female really into computers
Class of 2014
i like to build things like using screws an all that (weird for a girl huh?)
I already decided my major as Computer Science (took 2 college course: Java and Javascript)
but idk what i really want. Since CS is an impacted major it worries me.
I do like computer chips, and working behind the scenes (heh or inside electronics) </p>

<p>I don't know what i should decide on. I am not much of a hardworker, gpa 3.0, so double major is scaring me. </p>

<p>My hobbies are Multimedia things like photography video animation html graphic design.... </p>

<p>Anyways questions
SJSU vs. UCR or UCM or UC santa cruz for computer science what's better? </p>

<p>chance me please:

<p>well big question is what major…</p>

<p>It is likely that all of the listed schools are reaches or out of reach with your stats as listed in your other thread (3.0 HS GPA, 19 ACT).</p>

<p>Here were SJSU’s frosh admission thresholds for the more recent admissions cycle:
[Info.sjsu.edu[/url</a>]
(linked from <a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html[/url]”>http://info.sjsu.edu/static/admission/impaction.html](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-903.html]Info.sjsu.edu[/url”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-903.html)</a> )</p>

<p>The eligibility index is calculated as described here:
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - Eligibility Index](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>GPA Calculator | CSU)
using HS GPA as calculated here:
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)</p>

<p>Note that computer science is a popular major, so its threshold is higher than for most other majors. Even the somewhat similar software engineering major has a high enough threshold that if it stays that way next year, you are unlikely to get in.</p>

<p>If you cannot get into a desired four year school and major, consider going to community college, doing well there, and then transferring to a four year school as a junior.</p>

<p>Thanks that was helpful. I see software engineering as 2.5 though…? Is there charts like these for other CSU and uc?</p>
