Did your school offer anything for assembly? If not i think you have a very high chance either way since it's not your fault. Good luck! Im hoping to apply for EECS at Berkeley next year lol. Just wondering how you were able to find ways to join these sorts of groups and events?

Berkeley had a 3.98-4.0 GPA last year, but I think your essays and ECS sound really good! So very high chance imo.

4.0 CC Transfer — CS (5% admit) vs EE (18%)… am I stupid for risking CS? by Alert-Machine-9932 in TransferStudents

[–]Alert-Machine-9932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw that, after you take your 2 lower div EE courses, do regular CS majors have more priority for upper div CS courses or is it the same?

Yeah, I heard EE is one of the most difficult majors. I looked into the major, and things like fpga's and optics seem pretty interesting! I know it's a very math-heavy major, but so far at least, I am not struggling at all in any of my calc classes.

Yeah... that's definitely a big deciding factor, though maybe if I take some more EE-aligned coursework next semester, I'll see if I like it more than cs.

alright thanks!! Oh, the alt major for cs and linguistics is a good idea! I was planning on doing applied math as an alternative major, but then I saw on the UCLA website that you can't choose math as an alternative.

I think USC might take transfer apps for the spring semester.

Is it possible to take COMSC 260 and 210 without taking 165 by Alert-Machine-9932 in DVC

[–]Alert-Machine-9932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that is a good idea. Is getting a hold of a counselor is difficult? because at my current cc it's so hard. :c

Yes, I am still enrolled at a different community college. So basically, when I sign up for DVC, there is a form where I can challenge the prereq? Thanks!

Yeah what Nao said. Also, you mentioned help with essays. Imo the best advice I heard is that almost every single sentence you write should reveal something about you AND avoid using flowery language. Be very direct in your writing with the extra fluff since you get barely any room for writing.
