Be honest, is a Computer Science degree from a state university good enough?

One company, Qualcomm, has a recruiting office on the campus of UCSD and that’s where they wanted to hire from, so you couldn’t really get into their online job apps unless you went through that office.</p>

<p>My advice would be to try to get into a UC school or a well-known Cal State (SDSU) and then recruit out of that school for the Bay area position.

<p>Qualcomm has major operations in San Diego; it would not be surprising if UCSD and SDSU were favorite targets simply because of convenience.</p>

<p>For bay area jobs, the most convenient schools to recruit at are Stanford, Berkeley, SJSU, UCSC, SCU, and perhaps UCD. SFSU and CSUEB are also nearby, though they have less emphasis on CS and engineering and may not be as attractive due to too few students to recruit.</p>
