UCSD undeclared or UCSB engineering?

my dream school was UCSD, but since I wasn’t accepted into the engineering program, is it still worth it to go there? Which school is better in computer engineering? Is it worth it to try to transfer into engineering at UCSD? A lot of sources have told me it is an uphill battle.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

If your desired major is listed at https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/impacted-majors.html , check the department to see how difficult it is to switch into that major.

I did look it up for the ece department and cse department. And they just say that you have to take certain classes and do good in them. Then it just says you might or might not get in With no specific information concerning difficulty. It seems simple but I emailed an admissions officer and they said I should consider my other options and that such requests are rarely granted.

Given the answer from the admissions officer why is there still a question?
