<p>So when I got accepted it mentioned something about a summer orientation in which you can declare if you wanna stay with your major or change it. Do any of you know how exactly this is going to work out. and how likely is it to change from japanese to computer engineering if I had the grades but not the test scores?</p>
<p>I took a tour of the campus on monday and the tour guide told me that it is easy to change major from Engineering to L&S majors but very hard to change to Engineering from LS because those spots are very competitive and hard to get... lol did you pick Japanese cuz it is easier to get in with it than engineer?</p>
<p>umm in a way yes but at the time it was either those two and i had a higher chance of getting in with japanese anyway</p>

<p>I don't think you can change your major through orientation. You have to officially petition through a form.</p>

<p>If you do so before Fall Quarter is over, your high school portfolio will be evaluated. Either way, it would be the same situation as if you applied into Engineering as an incoming freshmen.</p>
<p>So don't think your strategy was an easier way to get into CSE.</p>
<p>UCLA doesn't offer computer engineering. It has computer science which focuses mostly on programming, algorithm, networks, and computer software. The closest thing to computer engineering would be electrical engineering. Computer engineering focuses mostly on hardware components such as circuits, electromagnetics, and computer architecture. Computer engineering is geared mainly towards the Electrical Engineering side with a minor emphasis on computer science. CE is really a branch of EE. If you look at other UC's which offer both CE and EE, both the curriculum are nearly identical, and they all coincide as 1 single department, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. I'm really surprised UCLA doesn't offer CE as it is a highly popular major.</p>
<p>actually there is quite a few options if you are going towards the comp engr/comp sci route in UCLA...I am a UCLA EE student (Junior) btw</p>
<p>There is EE with Computer Engineering as a track. There is Computer Science and Engineering and pure Computer Science. You can pick between any of these three. I would suggest going the EE with Computer Engineering track for computer engineering...</p>
<p>What Citan said. Computer Engineering at UCLA takes the form of EECE (Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering), which is a popular curriculum option for Electrical Engineering majors. :rolleyes:</p>
