<p>Hi I’m currently a student at UCSB(santabarbara) and I’ve been trying to get into their engineering program however it is difficult. If I don’t get in by the end of my freshman year(when i find out) I would like to go somewhere else for engineering. Should I transfer somewhere after my freshman year? or stay another year and do physics and math classes for engineers? Or should i apply places during summer and stay for fall quarter and then go somewhere else after next fall? My gap is currently a 3.2 but I will most likely bump that up by the end of this quarter. Thanks!</p>
