<p>Er, do you have stats to show that prestige is a major factor? I’m consistently been told by professors (whom I’m inclined to believe, since they’ve been through the process for decades) that it isn’t. </p>
<p>You can get an Associates of Arts in Engineering? </p>
<p>You don’t have to convince me “That’s how serious I am.”, or that Cal Poly’s prestigious. I’m trying to figure out what tone to read that in. </p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is that I think you should focus more on what happens after you transfer.</p>
<p>ETA: Maybe these are better questions: Why are you going into engineering? Is it to get a great job, or is it for the engineering?</p>
<p>ETA2: Better thought: Just don’t pay attention to me. I’m going off second hand knowledge here, and I can only give a general opinion. </p>
<p>So I’ll just say…it’s not the end of the world if it’s not super prestigious.</p>
