Hi everyone! I am a student in Florida very excited to attend one of the UCs I was accepted to. I want to be an Electrical Engineer, or Computer Science major. I am not set on either to be quite honest, as I’d be content with either since I just like technology as a whole, haha.

I am an IB student, on track for my IB Diploma. I was accepting into the following colleges:
University of South Florida - Electrical Engineering
University of Florida - Electrical Engineering
University of California, Davis - Electrical Engineering
University of California, San Diego - UNDECLARED
University of California, Irvine - UNDECLARED

(and was rejected from UCLA, and waiting on UCSB, UCB)

I’m not sure where exactly to post this thread, but I guess I am inquiring the likelihood of me being able to transfer from undeclared to EE at UCI and UCSD.

Also, I am assuming that there are prerequisites before actually getting into the specifics of my major (as in I am not going to take Circuits I in the first quarter, although I wouldn’t mind). Will me obtaining my IB Diploma help? I understand that I can get 30 quarter hours. Is this a lot? and does it affect my ability to transfer into EE?

Currently heavily leaning towards UCI. I’d appreciate everyone’s thoughts.

Here are some very brief stats of mine:
30 ACT
Very good ECs, Many leadership positions, unique clubs
Not sure what my UC GPA is but in my district, UW: 3.7 W: 5.6
IB Diploma Candidate
4 APs
Out of state (FL)
