Which university would you recommend for transfer?

<p>Hello all, I'm a college student finishing up my second year at community college before transferring. I am in the CA bay area, and the following info may be relevant. </p>

<p>Materials Engineering major (for the most part, will elaborate below)
3.8 cumulative GPA
3.9 major GPA</p>

<p>So far I got into the following schools:</p>

<p>SJSU: Materials Engineering</p>

<p>UC Irvine: Materials Engineering
FAFSA offer = roughly 18K for 2013-2014 year
not a great program, and I am not huge on the LA area in general unless its UCLA. </p>

<p>UC San Diego: Chemical Engineering
FAFSA offer = about 14K for '13-'14 year
I have heard CENG is now part of the NANO program. NANO is new, so I am not sure on its reliability and ranking, and if I can even get a job until the program establishes itself.</p>

<p>Colorado School of Mines
Materials Engineering
I know this is a great school, but paying out of state rates without Calgrant, I would be homeless by the second semester. </p>

<p>Still waiting on these schools</p>

<p>UCSB
Mechanical Engineering</p>

<p>UCLA
Materials Engineering</p>

<p>UCD
Materials Engineering</p>

<p>UCB
Materials Engineering</p>

<p>Any of the above school would be awesome, what do you guys think are my chances?
Apparently was going to hear from Davis and LA today, but they haven't posted decisions.</p>

<p>I was able to get into UCSD because they waive the Ochem requirement at community college and just make you take it there. CENG would be awesome, but I don't know about NANO that much. The schools directly above that haven't decided yet, are the big ones for me. Mechanical engineering would be a lot of fun, and not too irrelevant to materials engineering.</p>

<p>Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks!</p>

<p>And good luck with any upcoming decisions you guys may have coming up.</p>
