<p>does the school of engineering at UCLA have any admission guaranteed agreements with community colleges in california? if not how hard is it really to get into UCLA from a community college school? do u know the average gpa of accepted engineering transfer students form CCC?
my goal is to transfer to UCLA in one year. my major is aerospace engineering and if i dont get accepted to UCLA, ill go to UCSD as they do have a TAG (transfer admission guaranteed) agreement with my school, west valley college
Citan beat me to the punch. Since I'm not a transfer student I don't know as much about transferring into the HSSEAS or the TAG program, so just take his word for it... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>flopsy: I gather you have taken CS32....I have been reading some professor reviews...seems like Rohr is the worst...who should I take? So far Smallberg has good reviews</p>
<p>and how many more year from the date u transfered to UCLA is going to take u to get ur bachelor's degree. is it possible to make it in 2 years for engineering transfer students?</p>
<p>by the way thanks a lot for that link, its really helpful to me to know about these things so i push myself harder in keeping a strong GPA above 3.7</p>
<p>IVC...Im guessing 2-3 years. It's possible....but depends on the workload you want to take on when you transfer and the pre-reqs you have completed before transferring.</p>
Take Smallberg. Coming from someone who had Prof. Smallberg for CS 31 and CS 188 and Prof. Rohr for CS 32 and CS 33, I can support the school-wide opinion that Prof. Smallberg does a better job teaching than the rest of the CS faculty because he's supposed to; unlike Rohr and many others, he is a professional lecturer. Prof. Smallberg doesn't do research or publish books, but purely lectures to undergraduates and he's clever in his mode of teaching. He has a sixth-sense for the understanding of his students and often pre-empts questions and answers them before you can completely raise your hand during lecture. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hey Flopsy. I got another question. It's about the English composition 3 that we have to take for HSSEAS. Can we take community college courses for it? If so how does it work? on Assist.org it says to take English 101A and 101B to cover up English comp 3 and one additional course in English Composition. Does it mean taking English 101A and 101B will give me credit for Eng Comp 3 and another english comp class that i want? Can english 101A also be used as a way to be exempted from the analytical writing placement exam?</p>
<p>Yeah I guess I have to call them to know for sure. Thanks. I also have another question. Would CS31 be difficult if I don't know any C++ at all or is it a basic class that introduces it for a first timer?</p>
<p>CS31 introduces C++ for a first-time programmer. You'll be fine as long as you stay on top of the material and are familiar with general programming. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>flopsy: so how did YOU do in CS 32....and is it true that HSSEAS GE requirements doesn't have you taking foreign language courses? and what are some easy GE classes?</p>
I didn't do quite as well in CS 32 as I did in CS 31... yeah, I know. Yes, you don't have to take any foreign language courses for your GE requirement. Some easy GE courses include Philo 2, Econ 2, Psych 10, and most language courses. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Um what if i dont know any general programming. I dunno if I should take C++ this summer cause I have other things on my agenda. If CS31 isnt a difficult class for a beginner like me than ill just drop the C++ class.</p>
<p>flopsy - My daughter in computer science at UCSD said that the ratio of male to female is roughly 93%/7%. This is in the third year - there was a much higher ratio of females to start with but many dropped. What's it like in computer science at UCLA? Is it about the same at the third year point (my other daughter will be taking CS at UCLA starting in the fall)?</p>
<p>Note - my UCSD daughter isn't bothered by the ratio.</p>
<p>Note - my UCSD daughter isn't bothered by the ratio.
That's nominal. UCLA Computer Science has a ~9:1 male-female ratio which remained constant throughout my three years in the program. From the classes I've taken, one can usually count the number of female students in each discussion section with one hand. :rolleyes:</p>
