Goin to Davis Next year (undeclared physical sciences in L&S) but want to declare electrical engineering.

how do I…


declare EE as my major
Go to a very good grad school (USC, UCLA, UCSD, UCB, UIUC, or Stanford)


I feel like getting a 3.8 in EE (which is the grad school average GPA for most of these schools) is HAAAAARD. I want advice on study tips and what not.

To give you a feel of how smart I am i got a 4.11 gpa and 2110 sat (2200 superscore)

My preference for grad schools are in order:


Stanford (probably a reach)
UCB (again probably a reach)
UCLA (hopefully not a reach)
USC (hopefully a match)
UCSD (hopefully a match)
U illinois ( probably a reach but I got in for mechE undergrad. I just dont like the cold/humid too much)


Id honestly be very happy any of these for graduate school… I made the mistake of not getting advice for Jr year and took too easy of a schedule and not enough weighted…

I want to know what internships, what research and other ECs to do for the next four years so I can go to one of my top pick grad schools.
