<p>UCLA isn't in the Top 25 for undergraduate Biomedical Engineering again this year. :(</p>
<p>Good question... Perhaps UCLA isn't even considered by US News for undergraduate Biomedical Engineering, because it's not an independent major like Bioengineering is. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>my indian friend is in the biomedical engineering program..he says theres not very many of them...like around 30 students in his class? and last year was the first year they had a class that graduated under the program or somethign like that...yeah its really new</p>
<p>im too lazy to go look it up. but yeah hes a entering freshman like me and hes in the biomedical engineering program. he tells me its only a couple years old and i have no reason to think hes lying since hes my roomate and he showed me the brochure and stuff.</p>
<p>On a scale of 1-10..10 being ridiculously difficult/bordering on suicidal.. how would you rate the difficulty of attaining a B.S. in EE at UCLA? ( i'm an incoming freshman class 2010 and taking math 31A to start off my u.u <em>sigh</em> feel so behind) </p>
<p>Also, i'm currently enrolled in L&S and really need some advice about when/how to switch to HSSEAS.... (move-in date 9/22 for me)</p>
<p>sorry.. im just extremely intimidated by my peers right now... and there just seems to be so many obstacles for me en route to EE .... but i want it so badly XD</p>
<p>Jaqq: I am an EE too (transfer). Engineering is difficult, and EE is considered one of the most difficult engineering disciplines. However, this doesn't mean that EE is "suicidal". It is imperative that you show genuine interest in the subject, and if you combine hard work with that you will be fine. There's no need to be intimidated. Also since you are a Freshman you have ample time to back out (and many people do) if you feel that the pre-EE curriculum is too difficult. See how you perform in your Math/Physics courses (you will also get a chance to take EE10 and EEM16 during your Sophomore Year) and then decide if you still want to major in EE. There's no point in feeling scared before you even begin.</p>
<p>I would rate EE an 8/10 to graduate from, and 10/10 to actually get a respectable GPA in. Most EE freshmen start the Math 31A-33B series with Math 32A, through AP Calculus BC credit. Since you don't seem confident, I would petition to change into HSSEAS during Fall Quarter so that you'll be considered for EE based only on your high school academics. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>My S, also an EE major, is still not completely sure whether to start off with 31B or 32A (he got a 5 on the AP Calc BC exam). An advisor suggested he start with 31B in order to help his GPA. However, some students he spoke with said 31B was harder than it needed to be, and that he would be better off starting with 32A. What is your opinion?</p>
<p>Correct me if I'm wrong -- I don't think it's possible to enroll into Math 31B once you've tested out of it, assuming UCLA received the AP score. How can the "advisor" recommend doing so? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hey flopsy, they changed it during the first orientation. They don't necessarily give you credit for 31B. If you enroll in 32A they give you credit for 31A and B, but if you enroll in 31B, they give you 4 credits to 31A and then 4 credits towards just generic calculus. One of the advisors was trying really hard to scare us out of 32A, but then I talked to the one who signed my paper and asked her if it really was a big deal. She said taking 32A is fine.</p>
