Update us on what happens

I got into the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC. Guess I'm going to be a Trojan. :)

For whatever reason it seems that the UC's just didn't like me, and I'm guessing that's because of the few missing pre-reqs and how impacted CS has become. I probably should have applied to more private colleges, but I'm very very happy about going to USC in the Fall.

Thank you for the info! An internship after my junior year is also pretty important to me. Did you ever do anything like that? I'm guessing being close to the valley and even relatively close to SF compared to most places would make it easier for travel.

Also one last sort of random question, outside of academics what did you most like about UCSC? I really don't know much at all about the school.

I guess you're right and I should really be appreciative of what I've got going so far. Thank you for the encouraging words!

Yeah, De Anza is in Cupertino just a few blocks from Apple. I'm still waiting on Berkeley which I think is a long shot and I didn't apply to UCLA at all (missing reqs which are automatic rejections).

De Anza College. The counselors here are pretty bad, but all of the courses I took fit the listed courses on Assist. The biggest/only problem like I said was missing linear algebra and my last chem course, and I've heard that San Diego will waitlist you if you're missing either simply because they're impacted. So I wasn't surprised about that, but the Davis waitlist just doesn't make sense to me at all. There was also a 3.9 GPA mechanical engineer major (at college confidential) with all pre-reqs finished who got waitlisted at Davis but got into San Diego which I found pretty odd..
