Cool_Person_2:

can choose from Calc III (multivariable calx), Linear Algebra, Discrete Math. Which one do you think I should do as someone who will be applying for Electrical Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/CS?

Likely applicability:

EE: MVC, LA; DM if substantial CS content in major (e.g. if ECE or EECS).

ME: MVC, LA.

CS: DM, LA; MVC if major is engineering based (versus liberal arts based).

But also note that some colleges combine linear algebra and differential equations in one course, so transferring in a linear algebra only course would not cover an entire course.

If you are in California, use https://www.assist.org to check transferability and applicability to the EE, ME, and CS majors at UCs and CSUs.
