Thank you for the response!
I have contacted the College of Engineering at UCSB and I’m currently awaiting a response. For now, I have read that at UCSB, I will have a high chance of switching my major but I’m not really inclined to pursue Engineering at UCSB.
Since I am not committed to pursuing CS for all four years of my undergraduate degree and if I’m not successful in changing my major at either of these universities, I plan on transferring to another undergraduate institution that offers my preferred engineering major in my sophomore year. According to you, out of UCSD and UCSB, which university will offer me a better pedestal to take this leap?
