Hi CC Community,
S25 was admitted to the UCLA Electrical and Computer engineering department. Today, he was notified that he was selected to be one of 30ish engineering students to be in the “Fast Track to Success” program. Supposedly, you get advantages/priority in research/internship opportunities, monthly meet with advisor, and honor classes. We don’t know much about it. Is this true and worth considering? To be honest, UCLA is currently 1 of the top 2 schools that he is considering and he was leaning towards the other school. But this may sway S25 towards UCLA since one thing he covets is being able to find and work on interesting and challenging problems.
