<p>Hello CC community :)</p>
<p>I've been reading around and am kinda worried as to be admitted into ERC as an engineering major because of it's GE requirements.. So is it difficult to graduate in four years given that what they require are more literary/humanity based?</p>
<p>It probably will be difficult, but that’s why you should plan ahead and see what courses you’re already exempt from because of AP testing/CC courses/etc. You should definitely meet with a counselor and plan out your four years too.</p>
<p>@kagami6918 Okay thanks! I was completely clueless as to what to do c:</p>
<p>Plenty of engineering majors I know in ERC graduate in 4 years so it’s do-able, you should just plan it out very carefully. some classes for example, are offered only once a year and you should take those when they’re offered or you might have to wait a whole year to take it, delaying graduation. Other classes are notoriously bad combinations and shouldn’t be taken together. Talk to a counselor and as you enter college, make older friends and ask them for advice too. :)</p>
<p>I would really look into the GE requirements for your college. Both transfer students and Juniors/Seniors who came in as freshman to UCSD all really either felt satisfied or regretted their choice of college due to GE requirements. Revelle is by far the worst and if you look at the statistics - on average students who are in Revelle take about 1-1.5 quarters longer to graduate than students in all other 5 colleges. So fortunately you didn’t choose Revelle. Now for ERC, its humanities GE is renowned to be quite annoying. It’s practically impossible to get an A because of the way they forcibly grade your essays so most people detest the humanities series. In terms of graduating on time however (ie. 4 years) it is definitely possible. However engineering in general (especially as a transfer student) still requires careful and cautious planning to graduate in 4 years no matter what college you join. Hope I’ve helped and good luck!</p>
<p>@92faim and @shibbiman I will definitely take your guys’ advice. They already make me a lot happier just to hear that it’s do-able! :)</p>
