UCLA Engineering Q&A

<p>That's reassuring to know, thanks Citan.</p>

<p>


According to Dean Dhir's speech at Engineering Week in Spring 2005, the average HSSEAS freshman admit for Fall 2004 had a ~4.25 fully-weighted GPA and just over a 1400 SAT I (old system) score. Since two years have now passed, and UCLA Electrical Engineering remains one of the most impacted majors for admission, I would estimate that the average admit stats would have increased slightly, to a ~4.30 fully-weighted GPA and 2130 on the SAT I (new system). Besides GPAs and SATs, I think the most important thing for admission is the strength of your courseload. :rolleyes:</p>

I would have advised that your son learn C++ in advance, but it's too late now, I'm afraid. CS 31 starts from scratch with respect to students' programming knowledge. However, most of the curve-setters in that course are already familiar with C++ and/or Java, from either high school AP Computer Science classes or self-study. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I wouldn't really care too much about all the kids who have had previous experience programming...most of the beginning stuff, atleast prior to pointers, is pretty easy.</p>

<p>Reminder: Engineering Welcome Day 2006

<p>Your fellow engineers await -- I will be staffing the "ACM" table in person.
Seats are running out; R.S.V.P. at the link above. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Are we allowed to leave after lunch? I want to go to Santa Monica for the beach / water sports thing at aroudn 12:30</p>

<p>Is the Engineering Welcome Day even helpful for transfer students?</p>

<p>how do i go about declaring my double major? do i talk to a college counlser or just take the major prep classes? or what?</p>

<p>Walk to the HSSEAS Office of Academic and Student Affairs at 6426 Boelter Hall, and there's a stack of forms on the front counter that you can fill out to petition for a double major, as well as schedule an HSSEAS counseling appointment. It's best to get the petition approved before taking the coursework for your second major. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>is that teh one where i have to write a letter to dean jacobsen saying why i want to double major and the planned quarterly sched with like unites to complete both majors and units required for graduation? any tips on doing that?</p>

<p>I'm not sure. I don't remember the form too clearly. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>does UCLA have the requirement for admited engineering transfer students to graduate within 2 years?</p>

<p>I'm assuming no, since most of the HSSEAS transfers I know took three years to graduate. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Free printing for engineering students? i heaard that somewhere bu i still got charged in my bar account? did i miss hear?</p>

<p>free printing for 150 pages if you're in esuc
and I heard something like printing discounts (2 cents/page) with a seasnet account</p>

<p>What other benefits are there for being a member of ESUC? (except for the membership card, shirt, and 150 pages)</p>

<p>Free printing is for ESUC members: up to 150 pages from the ESUC lounge.
Your BAR account will be charged if you print from the SEASnet workstations.
ESUC members also get discounts on attending social events. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>oh ok so no free printing from seasnet?</p>

<p>No. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>2 cents is actually pretty cheap....</p>
