<p>How is the program there? I wasn’t the sharpest in science courses during hs (B student), so I would like to know how I would fare. My cousin is an Aerospace Engineering student at UCLA, and she said that it’s blood bath.
Also, I got in as Undeclared, so is it easy to get into the program? Thanks.</p>
<p>My friend is an Aerospace Engineering major here. I don’t know about the program overall, but as a freshman you obviously have to take all the physics/chemistry/math courses. It’s a lot of hard work and tough if you’re lazy and don’t go to class. It’s exhausting (from what I’ve seen from him), but as long as you’re proficient in math and can learn quickly, you’ll be ok. They offer LARC, which is small group tutoring that corresponds to most math and science classes here, which really helps too. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if this answered your question, but if you’re going to go through any engineering major here, being a good math and science student helps a whole lot.</p>
<p>The aerospace engineering program here is very strong. There is a lot of funding and research going on in that sector especially since it’s linked with the mechanical engineering program. From past statistics, about 50 students get their M/AE diploma every year. It’s less than EE/CE, so look forward to smaller class numbers. This could mean curves can get more tight and such.</p>
<p>Aside from all that, I’m a firm believe of 90% hard work and 10% natural skill. I also believe that natural skill can be developed overtime. If you have the right motivation and are approaching everything in an efficient manner, you’ll do as well as want. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
