Which is the better school for engineering?
I got accepted into UCRiverside Engineering and Undeclared at Cal Poly Pomona. I know UCR used to be the butt of the UC system, but I feel it is implementing good changes. Perhaps Pomona has a better engineering program?
But I fear that if I try to changed from Undeclared to engineering at Pomona, and don’t get approved, then i’m stuck with a useless degree.

I spoke to a few engineers from California, and they all said Pomona engineering is well respected, and UCR is overlooked - but could it be that the school has improved since they recieved their degrees 15+ years ago?

Any imput would be appreciated. Thank you.

Also, I got wait listed for Cal Poly SLO, CSU Long Beach, and SDSU. Should I try to remain on the wait list for these schools? I applied undeclared to all 3.
