ee_stu,</p>
<p>You would choose a school based on a silly prefix? Huh.

<p>Why would you say that the prefix is silly? I got admitted into UCLA's EE program and UCB's EECS program, whereas UCSD admitted me as a PRE-EE major. Why would I want to go to a school that does not accept me directly into my intended major?</p>
<p>It probably means you have to do one or two classes, and then you'll matriculate into the major. It's not worth choosing a different school if that was your dream school.</p>
<p>Yeah, but probably is not good enough for me since I'm firm on my major. In fact, I purposedly did not list an alternate major. And they still didn't admit me directly into EE even though I'm among the 6% of admitted transfer students with a 3.9+ gpa (according to last fall's stats)</p>
<p>EDIT: But one of the main reasons I'm attracted to UCSD is that I can have a blast frequenting their zoos on a weekly basis :)</p>
<p>ee_stu,</p>
<p>Find out what pre-major means. I was admitted to pre-poli sci at UCLA, and it was just one class before I could declare the major. The odds that you won't get EE are probably incredibly low and not worth giving up on your dream school over.</p>
<p>haha, but what happens if I don't get in as EE afterwards? I'll be screwed :(</p>
<p>So were you able to take poli sci courses (to satisfy your major prereqs) as a pre-major?</p>
<p>USC has the BEST acceptance package. It is much much nicer than any UCs' ones. </p>
<p>Second best acceptance package would be from CAL and UCLA.
UCI acceptance package is nice too. Yeah, UCSD acceptance package is kind of oversimplified, still nice though.</p>
<p>Yep.</p>
<p>Pre-major usually means that you just have to complete a couple of courses then matriculate. Of course, some majors are more impacted than others, but check first.</p>

<p>It better be! I see that some applicants won't even hear back from them until well past June 1?</p>
<p>Hi. I am going to be transferring to UCSD this fall and I'm currently looking for a place to stay. Please PM if interested in either looking for an apartment or have a room available.</p>
<p>I think UCD does better than the other UC's. UCD admission package is kind of sucks, cuz you can find the same flyer from your cc's transfer center. However, I do like UCD, cuz they do more things after admission. They sent a lot of emails telling you to sign up for admitted student workshop and a lot of events. Also, the bio department of UCD sent another letter and flyer to introduce themselves.</p>
<p>I like UCD after these, but their financial aid is just too stingy.</p>
<p>I agree. I don't even think it had my name anywhere on it. Worst of all, my friend who did TAG, got an official answer from them only two weeks ago online.</p>
<p>someone on another thread said they got their acceptance letter to UCSD on a postcard lol they really do need to atleast write a nice letter or something, not a postcard....</p>
