<p>If u applied for an engineering major, do they automatically put you into the jacobs school of engineering? I just got an email saying i got into jacobs school but i don’t even remember applying for it, all i remember was choosing/ranking my houses? I searched online and saw that jacobs school is ranked 11th best for graduates, (had to pay money to see undergraduate rankings). Just wondering if any other engineering majors got this?</p>
<p>Jacobs is the name of the Engineering School at UCSD.</p>
<p>I think everyone who got into an engineering major was put into the Jacobs School of Engineering.</p>
<p>UCSD’s engineering school is named after Irwin Jacobs, a former professor at UCSD, a founder of Qualcomm (a giant company) and inventor of CDMA wireless technology. Qualcomm is probably the most successful and influential company involved in cellular/wireless arena. Jacob’s has generously gifted millions and millions of dollars to the school over the years.</p>
<p>“Jacobs School” is what the Engineering dept is called. You take classes there, but you still belong to one of the 6 “colleges” - muir, revelle, ERC, etc. Your college dictates your GE’s and housing location and such, but you take engineering courses in the Jacobs School.</p>
<p>I think that’s what you were asking.</p>
<p>how will jacobs school be rated against ut austin computer science major</p>
