| I've seen on here the rather high rank of UCLA's aerospace engineering program. I'm wondering if you know how it compares with UCSD's aerospace program? |

because technically there are no single plaza rooms... just suites IN a plaza building (aside from the double/triple suite rooms in hitch/saxon), right?
sorry for the confusion but this has been bugging me for a while... xD | I think those single rooms are still considered plaza rooms, but I'm not sure -- the only plaza I've lived in was De Neve, which doesn't really have singles to speak of.  | |

All I can tell you is that the graduates of UCLA's Aerospace Engineering program are heavily sought after by the Southern California defense contractors who visit UCLA for its quarterly career fairs. | |

| How would you say a 3.3 GPA is for an engineer student after his/her first year? (not projecting my scores) | |

| Computer engineering
how competitive is it to switch from LOS to Samueli to a computer engineer also is gpa the sole determining factor of getting in. If so, what would be a safe gpa | |

| A GPA of 3.70 or above is a safe GPA to switch into CS/CSE. | |

| I'm an accepted senior who plans to major in Chemical Engineering, but I think I'm now hesitant about going through with my plan because I'm afraid that I won't survive in this field. I'm one of those hard-working students who can study all night and still not be able to surpass those who are lazy, but who are analytical and mathematically-talented enough to "ace" the test.
Also, I don't think I truly understand what it means to be in ChemE. I might have an idealistic view of what chemical engineering may be, and I might be actually more interested in chemistry as a science, rather than as a sect of engineering.
So, my question is this : are all engineering students so geared toward math and science that only the top of these students do well, or can students with stronger English and language backgrounds still hold their own in engineering, even if it means working a bit harder than everyone else? | |

lol I disagree. Although the "talented" could excel in high school, I think it's the hard workers that succeed in college. | |

| grark i disagree
some things, no matter how hard you work, you won't be able to do.
talent and hard work combined, or just talent if you have enough | |

| Changing from CSE to EE
Is it possible for entering freshman to change major from CSE to EE ? What's the process and how soon can this be done ? Is it possible to do it during orientation ? | |
