<p>Hi flopsy,
thanks for helping… but Im in great mess now. please help</p>
<p>I am a Kurdish student from Kurdistan region of Iraq(autonomous)
and I was granted a full scholarship, but the condition says that if i dont maintain a 3.0+ GPA, they will take it from me.
Is it hard to get that if Im going to EE?
Please help me and answer asap</p>
<p>^are you undergrad or grad?</p>
<p>lower than a B (i.e. 3) is rare in grad classes</p>
<p>average undergrad EE upper-div gpa is 3.1, so you would have to be consistently around the average or higher of your class to maintain the scholarship (i.e. very possible, but not easy)</p>
<p>and btw, the original flopsy left this thread ages ago</p>
<p>Do you know anyone doing EE at Berkeley? How would the academic rigor of LA compare?</p>
<p>undergrad will be the same</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I know, GRE score is not an important factor. My colleagues with only a 700 quant and as low as 300 qual were admitted. You just need to meet the minimum requirement.</p>
<p>Letters of rec are a little important, but most important is establishing a mutual relationship with an advisor (if you are looking into a PhD program or MS with research). You cannot blindly apply and expect a professor to offer you a position in the lab. You must approach professors (and possibly meet with them during your application process) if you are interested in this route.</p>
<p>Grades (GPA) are very important if you want to do research.</p>
<p>How long does it usually take for final grades to be posted? I finished all my examinations Sunday. Just wondering how long it usually takes?</p>
<p>So Im trying to plan for spring quarter Cause i just realized takine the recommended plan from HSSEAS which is:</p>
<p>EE102, EE103, Math 132, and a GE is NOT a good idea i dont think. </p>
<p>I’ve been reading around that ee103 is notoriously difficult and math 132 is too and as is 102 … So what would be a good replacement for those classes? Would it be a good idea to take EE2 instead of those classes??
I’ve already taken:
CS31, CS32, CS33, Math 31-33A, EEm16, Physics 4AL, Physics 1A-B, EE1.</p>
<p>I will be taking (this winter)
CS35L, Math 33B, EE10, and a GE.</p>
<p>At the end of winter quarter I would have already taken 3 GE’s… Just wondering is it alright to take more than the 5 required GE’s? I don’t want to worry about the unit cap -_-…</p>
<p>
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I was just speaking for specifically civil because that was Alan91’s question. It’s what I heard from one of the professors who reads grad apps.</p>
<p>Hi Flopsy,</p>
<p>How tough is to get into UCLA for Comp. Engineering? I have heard that Berkeley EECS is a lot tougher than its other programs? Is it the same for UCLA?</p>
<p>
There’s no major at UCLA called Computer Engineering. There’s Computer Science and Engineering, and Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering option. Both are generally believed to be competitive majors relative to other UCLA majors, as are most engineering majors at UCLA. It’s hard to quantify the degree to which this is true because each major has a different applicant pool with different characteristics.</p>
<p>Any idea on average GPA for graduates or a decent employable GPA? (I’d like a target or reference point)</p>
<p>
From what I know, GRE scores are more heavily weighted for international applicants and letters of recommendation carry a large weight as well. Grades, prestige, and previous experience are also very important.</p>
<p>For local students, it isn’t difficult at all to get into UCLA engineering graduate school (MAE), and it is very easy if you did your undergrad at UCLA.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can get a job with a 3.0 GPA or above. It just depends on how fast you find it after your graduation and how prestigious the firm is. With a GPA 3.2 or below, a top firm may be unlikely unless you have had an intern there. A small company is a better bet. </p>
<p>I think the average GPA is somewhere between 3.0 and 3.2. I know colleagues in this range find jobs not directly related to their engineering degree. They settled for something less technical. Others I know went to grad school with this GPA. Those with this GPA range who found jobs in a large firm got in from personal connections.</p>
<p>If you have a 3.5 and above, you should have no problems finding a job anywhere as long as you are dilligent. At all recruiting events, the recruiters paid more attention to those with this GPA range. GPA was one of the first criteria the recruiters examined on my resume.</p>
<p>If you have a 3.7 or above, you should consider graduate school and pursue a more technical degree.</p>
<p>In EE & CS, no one cares about your GPA.</p>
<p>
Unless you’re applying to grad school and/or have (close to) a 4.0. CS majors going into product management need good GPAs as well.</p>
<p>how difficult is it to maintain a quality social life while in UCLA engineering (Aerospace)?</p>
<p>I got into top FIVE grad schools with a 3.2…</p>
<p>Im a prospective student, going into college this upcoming Fall. I was wondering, how is the biomedical engineering program here at UCLA?</p>
<p>How strong is UCLA Computer Science compared to powerhouses like Cal, Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>I would also like to know about Bioengineering/Biomedical engineering program and how it compares with Georgia Tech?</p>
