I am not sure what you are asking but I think you need to go to each school’s department website and look into the details yourself. For example, CSE courses at UCD are: https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/courses/descriptions/
CSE Degree Program: https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/overview/
CSE Major Tracks: https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/major-tracks/

Son is wait listed ( also wait listed @ CAl Poly SLO)

Major: Marine and coastal Science

Internship and intensive community service are all related to major.

We think he is probably going to be wait listed or rejected by UCI, UCSB, USB, UCSD altogether :frowning:

Good thing he has UW and UCR acceptance, thank GOD!!

Please feel free to share your comments.

I have the same feeling that my son will also be waitlisted or rejected for the rest of the UC decisions :frowning:

Can someone please calculate my chances?

@Eastcoast234: @lkg4answers beat me to it, but I am also unclear of what you are asking. I would compare the curriculum’s for all the schools of interest. EECS is a tougher admit for CS at UCB vs. CS in the College of Letters and Sciences since EECS is a direct admit.
