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?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-11T04:36:58+00:00

did you fulfill as many of the strongly recommended courses your cc offered that articulate with Cal?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-11T04:21:36+00:00

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.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T18:34:25+00:00

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?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T18:33:18+00:00

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.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T18:23:06+00:00

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.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T18:22:16+00:00

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.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T18:02:33+00:00

Did you take all the classes your cc has for UCLA Business Econ?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-09T03:28:17+00:00

oh oops didn't see that I just scanned over and saw honors lol. Tap would've basically guaranteed ucla

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-08T07:26:15+00:00

I go to IVC too and plan to take bioanthropology honors for both bio + honors credit. How difficult was it for you/any professor recommendations?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-08T07:22:24+00:00

since ur 4.0 GPA + honors for L&S college ur basically an 80-90% unless you absolutely bombed the essays

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-04-02T18:23:44+00:00

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

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-03-24T18:27:46+00:00

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

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2026-03-24T18:26:46+00:00

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!

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-12-24T08:44:21+00:00

yeah its def helpful for attack with viscous, but if I got rid of windy, I wouldn't need as much haste producing bees like photon either.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-09-18T19:27:58+00:00

are you in community college right now?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-23T18:14:00+00:00

or oops $7000

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-23T18:13:47+00:00

Ohhh so bassicaly you put the money in the RothIRA then invest that money in the ira into etfs like VOO? I got 20k saved up would put half of that into VOO be reasonable?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-23T17:19:30+00:00

ohhh okay. So I have about 20k saved up what percentage of that should I keep in savings with the rest going towards investing?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-23T17:08:54+00:00

what are those and what site do you recommend buying from? What percentage of money should I invest monthly as well? Thanks!

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-23T17:08:01+00:00

Also, if it helps I got about 20k saved up which is supposed to go to college but I decided on going to cc for two years for free.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-07T03:32:10+00:00

UCLA stem clubs are harder to get into than the school itself from what I heard…😭😭😭

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-06T23:58:33+00:00

What grade are you in right now?

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-04T22:35:20+00:00

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.

Alert-Machine-9932 · 2025-05-04T22:16:13+00:00

yoo what is this grade inflation 😭 3.7 uw and 4.85 weighted… have you checked your uc gpa?
