<p>Go to a CCC. As an engineering major however, you’re going to have a harder time completing things in one year since it’s a high unit major, regardless of where you go. I know a lot of people do it in three years to be honest since it takes awhile – but some engineering majors do it in 2. You just have to be really focused. Going to a CCC will save you so much more money vs going to SJSU, especially if you don’t even want to go to SJSU. They’re dealing with budget cuts too so it’ll be harder to get classes at state and tuition is going up. At least with a CCC, you can always just go to another school and get your prereqs done there. And besides, even if you don’t get into Berkeley, you can always apply and get into SJSU as a transfer (guarantee if you have a high GPA) – it’ll still be there.</p>
<p>And Berkeley wants junior level transfers so your high school grades/SATS/etc. wouldn’t even be a factor anymore. They don’t recommend sophomore transfers and rarely accept them (that goes for any UC, I think).</p>
