<p>Yeah Jason is quite pro.</p>
<p>Haha. That's Jason for ya. </p>
<p>Go Jason! =D</p>
<p>jas0n..</p>
<p>I have posted this over in davis forums too..but no one has replied yet...
since u hav been to davis few times..i figure you might this know as well.</p>
<p>since Davis is big in medical and all the biological sciences, and its geographical location is such that most of the research opportunities are in medical or agricultural fields. Now I know that there will be some opportunities for us EEs or Comp Science majors......but there will only be few and you would have to be really competitive to get a hold of them.
where as at UCI.....u have better chances of getting involved in research as an undergrad and thus can make a better impression on your employer.
seems like a good logic?</p>
<p>mj300:</p>
<p>This is not necessarily true. In fact, I believe UCD has one of the higher engineering student count in the UC system particularly in EE since Davis is closer to the Silicon Valley. The faculty count is about the same at UCD as it is at UCI. In terms of research opportunities I would say it would be around the same. However UCD and UCI have different emphases such as UCI and nanotechnology. </p>
<p>UCI, however, has UROP and SURF, two programs dedicated to providing freshman the opportunity to research. I haven't heard of an equal from UCD, but you should look for one. SURF and UROP helps you find research off and on campus, including private companies and summer research projects in junction with other universities like UCB. As for the competition, I wouldn't necessarily imagine them to be competitive. If anything internships are the way to go to get employed. Internships in engineering get paid well =].</p>
<p>How many single rooms are on each floor in ME? Are there single rooms in co-ed suites?</p>
<p>Hey Jas0n, I don't know if you already answered this question before, but I was wondering if you knew about any a capella singing groups at Irvine. If you do, how active are they? Thanks. :D</p>
<p>staplers:</p>
<p>I'd say there is an average of 4 singles for every 70 students. There are no co-ed suites.</p>
<p>RWT:</p>
<p>It's college, there has to be an a capella group somewhere. If not, we are in the OC. There's plenty of places to go to. Besides that, there are no prominent a capella groups that the average student knows about.</p>
<p>how many units does the typical student take?
how hard would it be to take say, 12-14 units?</p>
<p>What time does classes start? How long are they typically?
Okay, one of the thing I don't like about UCI is that about 20 people from my school will go there next year and some of them I don't want to see again. Is UCI big enough so this wont' happen or will I be expect to bump in to them everyday?
How are the guys at UCI? Do they come from out of state or is it mostly Californian?
Is the school totally being run by Asians? What I mean is that can I easily find other ethnicities there or over 50% is Asians?</p>
<p>pol123:</p>
<p>if you live in the dorms, you are required to take at least a minimum of 12 units. Also if you want to be considered a full time student you have to be taking at least 12 units, which is also something you may have to consider if you have any scholarships which may have a requirement for you to have a minimum number of units that you have to take in order for the scholarship to be effective.
I started taking 13 units, then 15, and now im at 19 units. Right now i can really feel the difference from first quarter where i had loads of free time, where now im crunching time to get work done and still find time for myself. It also matters on your major about how many units you may need to take, and the way your schedule of classes for your major is set up. So you need to find the suggested schedule of classes that you need to take per quarter based on your major, which will tell you how many units you need per quarter roughly.</p>
<p>poli123:</p>
<p>The typical student would take 12-14 the first quarter and then proceed to around 16+ units depending on major afterward. 12-14 units is seriously a breeze to me since I take 17+ a quarter.</p>
<p>sweetdream: </p>
<p>Classes start depending on the class and the schedule you choose. There's really no standard. You won't see them everyday. But you will bump into them because their faces are too familiar to miss. It's a huge campus. It's not high school so don't worry about it. Most students are californian. The school is majorly Asian. About 48% of UCI consists of Asians. You can find other ethnic groups don't worry. Besides, ASIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO. I hate being regarded as a race that are like aliens or something.</p>
<p>its because i already have like 14 units of college credit, plus im thinking of taking classes during summer ... which leads to my other question. AP credit, do they actually give you the credit? or do they just let you skip classes by passing the exam?</p>
<p>poli123:</p>
<p>I had 33 college credits upon entering UCI, but I still have to keep going because I'm in engnieering. You can take 12 units for more than 1 quarter if your major permits. As for AP credit, check out this link:</p>
<p>How many units do you need to graduate? andddd how many units should i take a quarter if I want to graduate within 4 years? (comp. science)</p>
<p>Mysticorion:</p>
<p>You need 180 units to graduate. There are three quarters and two summer sessions where people normally take 2 classes at a time. Each class is about 4 units. You can do the math there =].</p>
<p>jas0n....
i visited the link you have posted above about the AP Credits...
if you take Physics B test and get a 4 or 5, they give you 8 Elective unit credits.
but if take Physics C test, they only give you 4 credits...but those credits count for Physics 7A not for Electives.
Since my major is Comp Science.......and I don't think I will have to take any Physics courses...should I just take AP Physics B test than? ( I get more Elective Units for it)</p>
<p>mj300:</p>
<p>Your enrollment windows will be better after fall of your freshman year if you have more units than others. I had a late sophomore window last quarter, and I'll have a junior one by next year. Take the test.</p>
<p>jas0n</p>
<p>mah bad for not being clear but the point of my question was:
should I take Physics B or Physics C test?
C gives me Physics credits ( which I probably won't need since I am a comp science major)
B gives me more Elective credits than C.</p>
<p>mj300:</p>
<p>Take both. One for the elective units and the other to get some of your science requirements down. If you pass Physics C then you can take the physics for non-science majors to complete your science requirement. You only need 3B and 3C, no 3A.</p>
<p>ight kool
i will try doin thAT</p>
<p>thxx for all the help bruH!</p>
