<p>Hi
Which university is better in computer engineering/computer science(please state which one you're referring to for major)?</p>
<p>UC Santa Barbara - UCSB
UC Davis - UCD
UC Irvine - UCI
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - CSU SLO
Cal Poly Pomona - CSU P</p>
<p>I'm willing to work hard.
I'm not a huge gamer and currently not addicted to huge games so I'm willing to make sacrifices, etc.</p>
<p>Please don't bring up the topic of me considering location, etc. I just want to focus on the major please :D
(I don't mean to sound rude, I don't mean to sound rude)</p>
<p>Would you happen to know the rankings for all?
maybe put it from highest to lowest.
if they’re tied, put it together on one line…
Ex:
A B C D E F G</p>
<p>I would strongly consider SLO if you are planning to get a bachelors and work in industry.
If research is more up your alley, UCSB is a great choice, and UCD is not bad either.</p>
<p>hey guys, I’m just wondering what’s wrong with SLO even if students do wanna go to grad school later??
Don’t grad schools love students with practical experience also?</p>
<p>SLO, like many other schools in the Cal State system, has a problem with students who cannot register for classes they need, due to overcrowding. The average student takes about 5 years to get a bachelor’s degree, sometimes longer. Although, some students take longer by choice, because they want to take a lighter load to increase their chances of getting good grades. This is also common in the UC system.</p>
<p>About the 4+1 program, you may want to call the computer science and engineering department directly to find out their policies for acceptance into the program, as it varies by department. Here is a general overview:</p>
<p>So does this mean that 4+1 is harder to accomplish? </p>
<p>By the way, do you think I have a chance of entering SLO?
a-g
4 yrs math (geo, alg2 H, Trig/precalc H , AP Calc AB) (As and Bs)
4 yrs english (9th regular, 10th honor, 11th AP Lang/comp, 12th regular) (As and Bs)
3 yrs language (mandarin - 9th (B/A), 10th (B/B) 11th (D/B) --seme. grade)
1 yr visual (probably piano and digital media or one of the two (going to take it once my sr. yr begins)
3 yrs history ( reg, reg., AP in sr… [if there’s room]) (As)
3 yrs science (H. Bio, H. Chem, AP Physics B) (As and Bs)
g req- college prep - accomplished…</p>
<p>Do you think I have a chance of entering any of the schools I listed ?
I only have ONE “D” for my first semester of my 3rd and final year of mandarin.</p>
<p>SAT - first time - 1450 (planning to retake, took it w/o studying/prep of any kind)
ACT - waiting for scores</p>
<p>and btw, thank you.</p>
<p>[I don’t text or go out at all, nor am I those common gamers at school so… focusing on school won’t be hard for me]</p>
<p>Since you attend a UC, is it true about the “rumor” or saying that if one were to get a “D” on their semester grade for high school, that one person can just kiss UC entrance goodbye?</p>
<p>That might be a garbled version of Berkeley acceptance letters that say that the student must finish his/her senior year in high school with at least a 3.0 GPA and no grade lower than a C.</p>
<p>Other schools may or may not have similar conditions on acceptance.</p>
<p>However, it certainly seems possible for a student to meet acceptance criteria at less selective UCs even with a D grade or few in high school – particularly in freshman year, when the grades are not used for UC GPA.</p>
<p>I suggest you apply to each of those schools you listed. Once you have received decision letters from each of these schools, then worry about which one is the best for you.</p>
