Need Help on What to Do

So the major that I want to pursue is Mechanical Engineering but the problem that comes up is which college to choose.

The two colleges that I am considering are Cal Poly Pomona and UCSD but for UCSD I got in for my alternative major and not Mechanical Engineering. Also, from what I heard Pomona is not bad but doesn’t really get the name recognition. So what should I do? Go to Pomona or change majors in UCSD or should I try to transfer to a better college.

I know nothing about UCSD, but I do know some colleges make it impossible or even exceedingly difficult to change majors after acceptance. Have you looked to see if it can be done?

UCSD allows for major changes but since Mechanical Engineering is an impacted major, my stats have to be pretty good to get in.

@waffles099‌ What’s your alternate major at UCSD? Is it something you’re interested in?

Its probability and stats which i don’t think is bad if I apply it to something like business but I have never really considered it.

@waffles099 okay. have you visited both campuses to see which one you like better?
