Are the extra engineering courses like Statics/Circuits etc. absolutely required or just desired? Specifically for mechanical engineering.
@seokminnie0218 did you finish your general bio and general chem already prior to turning in your application or will it be done by this spring?! I’m seeing people from last year get rejected because of IP prereqs and now im getting nervous ahhhhh

@Mindyproject97 I finished general chemistry fall quarter but my biology is in progress. Usually they don’t require anything to be done before applying except for math and english. For major prereqs, they want you to finish by spring before transferring so no need to worry 
@jonathaanv You got waitlisted to SLO? It seems like your stats are very strong. Did you not complete their pre reqs?
@enpz45 I had everything completed in terms of the golden 4, GE etc. In terms of major prep, I’m only missing one accounting class that I’m in right now. I really don’t know what happened to be honest, but oh well it’s not the end of the world.
@ucmalestudent me and @enpz45 were talking about Cal Poly SLO, not anything UCSB related.
@jonathaanv cal poly has a very specific curriculum, with specialized “Core” classes that you can only take on their campus. Perhaps, based on your other info, they waitlisted you because their core program is extremely intensive? And they’re super intent on having students graduate in four years, which is about the amount of time the “Core” program takes to complete. I actually will be (hopefully) transferring from SLO to UCSB, and that’s what happened to me. No core classes transfer.
@cctransferc why are you transferring out of slo?
Hey I wanted to get your guys’ opinions on my chances

@justinmega1 it’s a great school but very limited on the courses you can take, not much room for exploration. They’re very set on getting you in and out in 4 years and because of that there’s not a lot of wiggle room to grow or change. However, if you know what you want from school and Cal Poly offers it, I’d highly recommend the school. It’s freaking awesome.
@ucmalestudent I TAG’d with a 3.22 also. I just need to pass Calc which I mentioned I was taking this spring. I hope that means I still met all the requirements.
i really regret not applying…this was my TAG but then i went with irvine/berkeley/sd/la and didn’t want to pay the $70 fee to add another school
is there any possible way to still apply for fall semester 2017?
@otoribashi no man I’m sorry. They’re getting ready to release decisions in like 2 weeks.
@otoribashi O no ya don’t you’re coming to UCLA with us
@jonathaanv I’m surprised with your stats that you didn’t get accepted there.
@ucmalestudent thanks for calling and checking out what they had to say.
@enpz45 yeah idk it is what it is i guess
