<p>Incoming ME Major trying to make enough sense of the AP credit policy to decide which tests to plunk down $100 for in the next week or so.</p>
<p>Already Took: Calc AB (5), Physics B (5)</p>
<p>Could take this May:</p>
<p>-Calc BC (necessary if taking assessment test anyway?)
-German Language
-English Language/Composition (looks like a 4-5 fulfills EngComp 3 req't?)
-Chemistry
-Computer Science</p>
<p>Little help?
Take all of them. They all count towards either an engineering degree requirement (Calculus BC, Chemistry and English Language/Composition) or a GE requirement (German Language -- not sure), with the exception of Computer Science, which gives you empty units to get you to sophomore standing sooner. :rolleyes:</p>
CSE majors take upper-division EE courses, while CS majors take only lower-division EE courses but more upper-division CS courses as well as a technical minor. :rolleyes:</p>

<li><p>What is the approximate average GPA of engineering students after their freshman year? (after spring quarter) Or if that is hard to answer, roughly what percentage of students will have a 3.0 GPA after the first year?</p></li>
<li><p>How long do lab reports in the Physics series take? I hear it is time consuming.

[<em>]Not sure. I'm not part of an honor society, so I wouldn't know personally, and those I know who joined into TBP are tight-lipped about their employment. I don't even know what Mortar Board is.
[</em>]My best guess is 2.9.
[li]3-5 hours for Physics 4AL, 4-6 hours for Physics 4BL.[/li][/ol]</p></li>

<p>I made another thread but it seems it's kinda dying since no one is answering. I'll put this here though:</p>
<p>does anyone know of an applicant from last year who got into engineering that didn't receieve the letter? I have a friend from last year who didn't get the letter and didn't get in (luckily she still got into UCB for that same major). She told me that it means I didn't get in =( ...</p>

<p>How many times has this question been answered? If you have not received the letter by now, you are NOT ruled "REJECTED" yet, though I would strongly believe that your chances of being admitted now is under 50%.</p>

Can I get a reply from someone who has more than 16 noob posts that is not composed of less than 26 characters. Thanks -____-;;

<p>Please don't bash other Members. # of posts on CC is not a status. Everyone is able to bring useful information to the forum.</p>
<p>Boelter, i think theonez is being quite reasonable, he hasn't gotten a straight answer with numbers chances, what happens etc. all people are telling him is that he still has a chance. i think he wants to know if anyone has gotten in before without a letter, and if its possible the letter wasnt sent to him etc. </p>
<p>as for his remarks, vietsa has been making crude remarks that aren't even constructive, just reading those marks makes me mad also, and vietsa doesn't bring any useful information at all, he makes crude and childish comments towards people and never answers a question. You should ask vietsa to stop first before you ask the person who is getting some crap from him to stop.</p>
<p>Vietsta is writing unconstructive posts, but it doesn't give theonez the right to "fight back" with a condescending reply.</p>
<p>The letter question has been answered many times, in different wording, and I'll answer again:</p>
<p>Very, very few applicants who did not receive the engineering likely letters during the period they handed out will be admitted. This makes logical sense because engineering admits were early so prospective students can RSVP for the Open House and plan ahead.</p>
<p>Receiving the admission status during the time the regular students would not make much sense because there would not be enough time (according to UCLA to plan for the Open House). Therefore, this would be unlikely for an engineer.</p>
<p>Those who received the engineering letter are extremely likely to be admitted.
No one knows the number chances except for the admission office.</p>
<p>Does starting with 62 units help me fulfill GEs, GEs and majors, or does it just help in getting sophomore/junior status sooner and thus let me safely register for impacted classes?</p>
<p>Does the 62-unit thing help me take more classes in case I wanted to do CSE and still do medical school? And would a minor like cognitive science or neuroscience then fit in naturally?</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions - I'll continue looking up the answers myself in the meanwhile.</p>
