<p>I want to do EE at UCLA for two years and then try and transfer into EECS at Cal....does anyone know how hard this would be or know anyone else who has done so?
Any previous posts would be great also, i couldn't find anything in the UC Transfer forum...</p>
<p>UC to UC and CSU to UC transfers are really hard.</p>
<p>Why not just stick with one school or the other? EE is quite strong at both but I'd pick Cal for EE in a flash. Did you get into Cal EECS?</p>
<p>no i got into cal for cs</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ahhh really?</p>
<p>I would say it would difficult to do.
It would be especially difficult to do for you because you will not want to leave what you have at UCLA after two years (ie friends, school spirit, boys ;) )</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahah </p>
<p>i just don't wanna take the chance of going to Cal as a CS and not be able to transfer into EECS because I heard that is next to impossible</p>
<p>What are you interested in doing in terms of career?</p>
<p>Though I understand the desire to have it both ways like that, it's not a reasonable plan.</p>
<p>work for Apple and maybe later do Patent Law</p>
<p>If I was making the choice I would look at it this way:
Berkeley CS vs UCLA EE</p>
<p>If Berkeley CS is not what you are looking for, then choose LA.
If you are fine with Berkeley CS, then choose Berkeley. Then try for EECS. If you get it, yay. If you don't, you are (hypothetically) fine with it and are still happy.</p>
<p>I am an executive at a large Silicon Valley SW company. My message: on UCB vs UCLA for <em>any</em> sort of computer engineering: it does <em>not</em> matter. Do well and (maybe after an MS degree) you'll have a raft of jobs waiting for you.</p>
<p>Also, 3-4 years after you enter the mainstream work force, no one cares about your alumnus status. Duds from UCR go into the same bin as duds from UCR or UCLA.</p>
