<p>Dear earthling 
…may I give you one piece of sage advice (that I had given to others who did not heed, to their own detriment): Since you’re primarily interested in computer science, Do not apply to EECS! Instead apply to CS in L&S. It is a million (OK maybe not a million, but 50,000) times easier to get into, and there is ABSOLUTELY no difference whatsoever in the curriculum (besides no one wil prevent you from “tayloring” the curriculum to include some hardware courses as well)</p>
<p>The ONLY reason in my opinion to apply to EECS is, if your primary interest is in the EE area (with a few CS courses thrown in for good measure). Also, my Engineering Student Services advisor told me that if you were admitted with 3 or more lower division courses missing they will grant you an extra semester (which is the case with me). 2 extra semesters are virtually never granted. </p>
<p>To be honest it seems almost redundant to have the Option IV (computer science) in EECS. The only mandatory courses that the EECS CS majors have to take are the 2 lower division electrical engineering courses EE40 and EE20N. However the L&S CS majors can take these too if they so choose.</p>
