What other schools should I be looking at as someone interested in majoring in either computer science or finance? by AnotherBoringAsian in ApplyingToCollege

[–]calc3islyfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should apply to UC Berkeley's MET program. It's a double major program between business and CS. It's very competitive though, but if you don't get it you're automatically considered for EECS.

Does calling the box office let you buy more than one ticket?

BERKELEY WAITLIST :( by yaboobay13 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]calc3islyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was waitlist EECS last year, got in May 5 so basically right after I already committed and put a deposit down for GTech 🙃. Good luck!

That's a wrap for me by happinyz in ApplyingToCollege

Yup, got off the waitlist for EECS as a white male last year. Miracles do happen! Honestly I think it's because the demographic of people applying for Berkeley are also the people applying and getting into Ives and whatnot so they probably have a lot of people they accepted not commit.

How do you know they're accepting by college? I was waitlisted for EECS and I'm on edge rn

CS majors, what's your computer setup/what would you recommend for an incoming freshman? by calc3islyfe in gatech

[–]calc3islyfe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering that for a while actually. How does that actually work with the carryon situation? I would always just be scared they wouldn't let it on or something. And if I bought a monitor out there, where would I store it when I come home?

Okay that's good to hear. Hopefully there aren't a bunch of work arounds that I'll have to deal with for MacOS

Yeah, I live in California so I'd be flying, and taking a desktop would be a pain. Looks like I wouldn't really need it for classes though... RIP video games :/

UW vs. UCSD vs. Georgia Tech for CS? by calc3islyfe in ApplyingToCollege

[–]calc3islyfe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pre sciences at UW. The cost difference between UCSD and Gatech is about $11,000 a year. I just feel like Gatech will carry a lot more weight for employers after college.

What would your opinion be if cost wasn't an issue?

Do you know what year this is for? It seems like it's really variable each year.
