College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I live in southern California and i’d like to stay here in southern California so i don’t get too homesick. I want to major in Computer Engineering but i’m not too sure yet since CIS/ICS seems somewhat of interest to me. Also thinkin about Civil Engineering too.</p>

<p>anyways so far, I have 5 colleges in mind.
UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCR
Cal Poly Pomona</p>

<p>I really doubt i’ll get into UCLA, UCSD or UCI with my stats. </p>

<p>horrible i know. I really want to get into at LEAST UCI, but i know that i have to face reality and realize my chances are very low.</p>

<p>The last 2 I have left are UCR and Cal Poly Pomona, that are within reach. I’m not sure which one to pick if i get accepted into both.</p>

<p>Okay now for my question, lol. Are there any other universities i should apply to? thanks!</p>

<p>I think the average GPA and SAT of UCI is 3.8 and 1800, respectively. Keep in mind that the UCs only look at tenth and eleventh grade grades. I think you have a good shot at UCR as long as you finish the a-g requirement and have at least a 3.0. I’m not too sure about Cal Poly Pomona, but you should consider applying to Cal Poly SLO (a great engineering school).</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

3

<p>don’t UCs look at the 1st semester of 12th grade also?</p>

4

<p>You might want to apply to Cal Poly SLO. Unlikely you can get in, but I’ve heard stranger things.</p>

5

<p>bombatwist: UCs ONLY look at 10-11th year grades</p>

<p>well… looks like im screwed for UCLA, UCSD and UCI for sure x.x</p>
