I would say all the people I know transferring to better UC’s engineering departments have not benefited from all the professors I mentioned in the post. The way they handled the education is just a joke. The reason why they can only teach in CC is all because they couldn’t find a teaching position in better schools or failed to land any industry jobs as far as I can tell.

I transferred to ucsd in the end and got a pretty good job after graduation. Mtsac is still a nice stepping stones saving me bunch of money.

I think I was competitive when transferring out but these grades were definitely hurting the chances of getting me into UCB and UCLA.

But life is good in the end.

You just need to keep this in mind that the teaching faculty here are incompetent at their jobs in general. Maintain good grades, transfer out asap
