<p>You can transfer into SEAS within the first quarter, and they’ll use your HS stats and a short essay to determine your admission</p>
<p>Happy birthday, Flopsy!!</p>
<p>and happy 900th post~</p>
<p>hi, i applied to both UCLA and UCI (waiting on a reply from both heh) but i’m debating which i should go to if i am accepted to both. i’ve looked around for info on both colleges’ engineering departments and i have a few questions i need to have cleared up. first, i’m planning on going into either aerospace engineering or computer science, most likely AE though XD. now i know UCI lets you double major in both AE and mechanical engineering since they’re both closely related (i think lol) and i want to know does UCLA allows anything of the sort? also, if you’re a full time student at UCLA how long would it take to double major in something like AE + political science or business economics? or is that not allowed either?</p>
<p>ty,
khiz</p>
<p>you can double major in engineering and a major from another school. it’ll probably take you at least 5 years. UCLA does not allow a ME/AE double major. the course track is very different beyond the prereqs and first few courses; some cover the same material specific to aerospace applications, the rest are completely different. however, you can take ME-related classes as your major electives.</p>
<p>oh alright, ty for the reply. i was also wondering if i’ve taken and passed english and history ap tests would those help me any by counting towards electives or something? because i know math / science ap tests don’t really count but yea since i passed ap english w/ a 3 and ap history w/ a 4 would that exempt me from some of the GE requirements?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Neither of the scores will give you GE credits. I believe you need at least a 4 on an AP English test to be exempt from English 3</p>
<p>^ I want to punch your face in! :mad:</p>
<p>But a 4 on APUSH gets you out of the entry level US history requirement.</p>
<p>dang that sucks XD i need to buckle down and get a 4 on the test this year then haha anyways i have one more question lol…alot of teachers say UC’s have professors that aren’t dedicated to teaching but just carrying out their own research, they don’t pay any attention to you, you have to ask everything to the aides, and they just mumble over their shoulders for hours on end. can you tell me how much of this applies to UCLA? and do you get homework like high school or is it just reading assignments and your final / mid term counts as your grade?</p>
<p>A lot of this depends on what classes/professors you are taking. Professors hold office hours in which students can interact with the professors directly. Though I’ve had one experience in which I felt the professor wanted me out of there ASAP most of the time I’ve felt the professor genuinely wants you to learn the material.</p>
<p>I haven’t had any professors I’d consider outright horrid but I’m pretty adamant about using Bruinwalk.com to look up reviews for professors before taking them. </p>
<p>As for homework again it depends on the class but the main difference I’ve found is how regularly you turn in stuff. Stuff is normally turned in weekly or even less often as opposed to my high school which had assignments due daily.</p>
<p>hey how is this schedule for spring quarter?</p>
<p>i am a first year EE major.</p>
<p>math33b
engcomp3
comsci31
ee1</p>
<p>should i replace any with physics1AL or ee3?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think that’s a pretty nice schedule… nothing too bad. hardest class is def. cs31</p>
<p>Anyone think CS 31 is getting easier or not? Reading Bruinwalk, seems like people (no programming experience) are still spending 20-30 hours a week on projects … but it seems like the average grade is a lot higher than a few years ago. (probably B or B- average in Spring now?)</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Has anyone here taken any courses with Rob N. Candler or Gupta Puneet? Any good? I can’t seem to find any reviews of these guys. Thanks.</p>
<p>yo guys i was just looking over the HSSEAS admissions site and it says freshmen are required to have physics + chem in high school. i havn’t taken chem in high school >.< and i didn’t mention on my application that i would take it at the city college this summer. does that mean i won’t be accepted even if everything else fits?</p>
<p>Care to point out where on the site it says so? I can’t find it anywhere and I know a person who never took physics in HS and got into HSSEAS.</p>
<p>lol i can’t find it right now but i searched something in google and it linked me there XD but that’s somewhat of a relief haha…</p>
<p>khiz15, it may not be a requirement, but after i took chem 20a, i felt anyone who didn’t take chem in high school will have a really hard time following the material. the quarter system crams so much information into those 10 weeks that you can’t really afford to take a long time to grasp the material. just my 2 cents</p>
<p>aiite i see wut you’re saying XD i was thinking about taking a chem class at city college over summer break too heh. ty for the advice btw</p>
<p>can anyone tell me how UCLA’s Mechanical Engineering is?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
