Ranking between UCR,UCI,UCSC,CSUNorthridge, SJSU, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly?

<p>Engineering department.
Give me some advices and ranking.
Which one can get in with a 2.0?
Which one need 4.0?</p>

<p>I think the hardest would be Cal Poly Obispo from the ones you stated</p>

<p>Cal SLO>UCI>Cal Poly>UCSC>CSUN=SJSU=UCR</p>

<p>in order:</p>

<ol>
<li> SLO</li>
<li> UCI</li>
<li> UCSC</li>
<li> UCR</li>
<li> SJSU</li>
<li> CPP</li>
<li> CSUN</li>
</ol>

<p>admits would be much tougher for the top four than the bottom three. san jose state seems to be an up and coming program solidly fixed in the silicon valley, but no match for SLO.</p>

<p>the UCs are more theory based but you do get a UC degree.</p>

<p>pomona, while still strong in engr, is sliding down fast as a university. i would avoid.</p>

<p>northridge, no way, unless all you have is a 2.0 and then this one might be your only choice.</p>

<p>I got 3.3<br>
My friend got 2.9<br>
( estimated the UC-transferable GPA)
Both of us out of state.
Im doing electrical engineering
my friend doing computer engineering
Which one do you think we can get in to?Give us some ideas</p>

<p>being out of state would be a lot harder...i think</p>

<p>For transfer into engineering, it's not just GPA, but how well prepared you are for a major. We wouldn't take a 4.0 student into engineering if all they had was 1 quarter of calculus -- it would be impossible to finish the major in 2-3 years. A 2.0 will be difficult anywhere, but if within that 2.0 the math GPA is is 3.0, that's totally different. At UCSC, and most places, transfer transcripts are looked at with a much more individualized view.</p>

<p>Typical would be math through lin alg/dif eq, physics (or if you're heading into bioengineering, chemical engineering, or biomolecular engineering, chemistry & biology), and some programming, and perhaps a few others.</p>

<p><<obvious plug="">>
I'm a fan of UCSC myself (I'm chair of our computer engineering department & also our bioengineering program), since our junior-senior classes tend to be small (30 students is a large one), and there are lots of chances to work with faculty on projects inside and outside the class, sometimes leading to MS and PhD projects.</obvious></p>

<p>Right now, UCSC doesn't have civil or mechanical, so if you're heading to one of these, it's not the place for you (unless you want to do robotics, in which case we have a robotics concentration to the computer engineering major). Biggest buzz recently has been the Computer Science: Computer Game Design major, which I think of as a rigorous software engineering program with an interdisciplinary game design focus. We've also just started a bioengineering program, with concentrations in biomolecular, bioelectronics, and rehabilitation technology.</p>

<p>So Do I need to send my transcript to them as out of state student?</p>

<p>You have to send your transcript if you're in state, or out. ^</p>

<p>You mean after applying or after admitting.What is the deadline?I think u misunderstood something</p>
