My EC’s are pretty weak because I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life until recently. Anyways, for now, I’ve decided to major in civil engineering and then get a masters in architecture. I fell in love with studio culture after experiencing the summer program at UCLA, but many of the instructors advised me to pursue a degree in engineering so I have a decent backup in case I can’t find a job. Civil engineering was 2nd in my head so I decided to go with that.
Schools:
-UCLA
-UCSD
-UCSB
-UCSC
-SCU
I know the first 3 schools are pretty unrealistic, but I can’t imagine myself not going to one of them. SJSU is my safety college, but I’m most likely going to CC then UC if I can’t get into the first 3. I’m undecided on UCSC since I haven’t visited the campus yet. SCU is mostly just in case I somehow get a full ride or something.
