Anyone get into Engineering with a few missing prerequisites? (Transfers)

Hmmm, so I need to petition each EE class I take at UCSC before it can transfer over? Holy, that’s a LOT of EE classes for me to petition. -__- Okay, wait so I have another question… would it be better for me to prioritize finishing my GEs or my major prerequisites?

Thanks to my AP credits, I’ve already finished half my GEs for UCSC in high school, but in order to finish the other half, I have to take 2 GE classes per quarter. On top of that, I’ll have a Calculus class and a Physics class each quarter. Not to mention the EE classes that I’ll have to take. Since I’m a 1-year UC-UC transfer student, would it be advisable to just not take any GEs at UCSC and take/finish them at UCSD? I mean, technically, I’ll have an extra, free year because I’m one year ahead of everyone, right?

Also, I noticed that your Computer Engineering major requires ECE 35, 45, and 65 as prerequisites. I have to take these courses also, so did you have to petition these courses or were they already pre-approved? Thanks again for all your help! :)
