| LAKESHOW, did you get into Bioengineering? If so, what were your stats? I'm curious because I didn't get into Bioengineering, but they put me into chemical engineering. |

| Sorry, the Engineering Open House is on April 15th and I was looking at flying in on Friday the 13th to see if I can sit in on classes. Any recommendations?
Also, btw, since there is the NCAA tourney going on right now, are people really studying for finals at all?

| Does anyone know what percentage of ELC students were admitted to UCLA in the past? | |

| Question for the current engineering students
How many of you see your faculty advisor? I've been here for 2 quarters and recently found out that I have one =\ Have they been helpful? | |

| I only saw my faculty advisor once -- to sign the mandatory HSSEAS letter I got asking me to see my faculty advisor. He's one of my Computer Science professors, though, so he advises me plenty enough. | |

| Flopsy, we visited UCLA today. Didn't know it's Spring Break, but walked around anyway. The engineering building looks pretty drab and outdated. Is there more behind the doors that we didn't see? Also, noticed a new building under construction called the replacement building. When will that be ready and what will go in there? Some of the other schools I have been accepted to have new, state of the art facilities. Confused now. Please help | |

| For the most part, you won't be taking classes in the Engineering 1-4 buildings until later in your career, I'm a first-year bioengineering student and most of my classes have been in really nice venues. Lakretz hall, Physics and Astronomy are both very new and I've even been blessed with the opportunity to have math in Royce Hall ( the building across from powell library). | |

Please help | Sorry if the "Engineering building" looked drab (I'm assuming you're talking about the oldest one, Boelter Hall). The ugliest parts of the building are the fourth and fifth floors, which mainly house lecture/discussion rooms. As for the Engineering Replacement Building (which will likely take on the name of an unnamed donor corporation), it should be ready by the end of 2007. It will house the research wings of the Bioengineering and Materials Engineering departments. The nicest parts of the whole Engineering conglomerate are in Engineering I and Engineering IV, which are mainly for faculty offices and upper-division lab courses in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. However, Franz Hall, LaKretz Hall, the Physics and Astronomy Building, as well as Young Hall and the Geology Building are also common venues for Engineering courses, so it's not like you'll be dwelling in Boelter Hall continuously. | |

| Hey Flopsy, can you describe your experience at UCLA? I saw a thread at Cal's forum with students saying that they had a bad experience because of the overcompetitiveness. Does that pertain to LA? Did you enjoy your time? Did you find your time rewarding, socially, academically, etc.? | |

| Yes, I found my study here rigorous and fairly intense. I crave the competition in curved courses -- it's the non-engineering courses (mainly Economics) which are bringing down my GPA, interestingly enough. My freshman year was the hardest on me because of CS 32 and CS 33; luckily that's all behind me now and even CS 111 was easy by comparison. Sophomore year was probably my best year because I had a perfectly-formed schedule all three quarters and thus was able to join the clubs I couldn't join as a freshman. Junior year was all-work/no-play and I attempted to do undergraduate Computer Science research but I eventually dropped out after a quarter because of lack of committment. Senior year is good so far because I'm taking a lighter schedule and drinking more coffee. I have a well-balanced group of friends and things are looking up in my job search. | |
