UCSD transfers still waiting

<p>That's not too bad. If I go to UCSD, I have to take 6 engineering lower div prereqs since they're not offered at any CC in my area. And this is my 3rd year in CC, I don't want to be lower divsion any more. But I'll probably wait and let financial aid dictate where I go.</p>

<p>yea UCSD has a couple of things which turn me off:</p>

<p>1) My first choice is Muir and I hear I have to do extra writing courses...screw that...I want to focus on Engineering courses.</p>

<p>2) Foreign language....screw this as well...I already know how to speak three languages. Muir will have me taking 2 years of foreign language. UCLA Engineering GE is pretty relaxed.</p>

<p>3) Lack of transfer housing. UCLA guarantees me one year transfer housing. UCSD = NOPE, you are are on your own.</p>

<p>4) UCLA's EE program is designed pretty well...if I go to UCSD I have to take courses like Intro to EE I, II, and Data Structures...UCLA I would only have to take one or two courses which were not offered in CC. </p>

<p>5) UCSD is in a boring location and from what I hear has a boring campus, and that bringing a car is essential. UCLA is in a urban area with a mass transist system. This isn't a big issue....</p>

<p>6) UCLA EE program is ranked 13th, UCSD is ranked 16th. UCLA is ranked higher in the overall category as well. Reputation wise UCLA still is better than UCSD.</p>

<p>Downsides</p>

<p>1) I like quiet areas so UCSD wins.</p>

<p>2) If there is a Al Quaeda nuclear attack it is more likely to happen in LA.....lol</p>

<p>Thus, I will be going to UCLA and not UCSD.</p>

<p>"2) Foreign language....screw this as well...I already know how to speak three languages. Muir will have me taking 2 years of foreign language. UCLA Engineering GE is pretty relaxed."</p>

<p>I like this. Even though UCLA won't take IGETC, I can still use my IGETC courses to satisfy their GEs. It looks like the only GE I will need us Engineering Ethics.</p>

<p>ee_stu: do you know of a list of UCLA GE classes which correspond to CC classes...I have taken some CC GE courses but don't know if any of them satisfy any of the GEs at UCLA.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/adm_ugrad.html#Admission%20as%20a%20Junior%20Transfer%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/adm_ugrad.html#Admission%20as%20a%20Junior%20Transfer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Scroll down to "Admission as a Junior Transfer". It seems as though they will accept IGETC courses as equivalents, or at least that was the tone I perceived.</p>

<p>The actual GE course list for UCLA is here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-EngrNew05-06.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/ge/GE-EngrNew05-06.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>But most courses can't be cross referenced on assist.org.</p>

<p>It's good to have a talk with some homeless men and women on the bus lol</p>

<p>yea already saw those...was hoping for the cross referenced thing...it would suck if all the GE classes I took turned out to be worthless</p>

<p>I got into UCSD.... wow... what a long wait. = ="</p>
