Can anyone provide any insight into riverside’s mechanical engineering bs + ms program. Is it a good program and will it prepare me well for the workforce?
I’m waitlisted. Is it worth writing an appeal letter to admission office?
Yes! Many of my friends got off waitlist by writing an appeal.
UCR is not accepting appeals if you are waitlisted this year, only denials.
Thats really hard to answer because it depends on what job you get with a mechanical engineering degree. Depending on the job and company the requirements will be vastly different. For example, some of my ME friends got jobs that required significant CAD work. I on the other had got a job that involved more SW coding of robotics. Do you know what kind of work you want to do with your ME degree? The great and bad thing about an ME degree is that it can be applied to a broad spectrum of jobs and industries.
From the UCR Waitlist FAQ’s:
Can I challenge the admission decision?
A: Because you have not yet been denied admission to UCR, there is not an official decision made on your record to challenge. If the final decision results in your denial of admission to UC Riverside, and you have new or compelling evidence to share that was not available at the time of application, you will be given the opportunity to appeal and a link will be provided to you at that time. Please note that applicants can not appeal to be placed on the waitlist.
