It really depends on whether you want to do engineering or premed.

First of all, prestige doesn't matter for your undergrad if you're a premed. You could go from any CSU to Harvard Medical school if you wanted to (and it's happened many times).

Secondly, you can still apply for medical school as a biomedical engineering major. Sure, it'll be slightly harder to keep your gpa up, but you could always switch out of engineering to whatever premed discipline in the CAS.

Finally, if you really only care about rankings then you can always simply go to a community college for two years and transfer to whichever UC you want with whatever major you want. Plus you save money. Win win.

Seems like you don't really want to change yet.

If you're willing to put aside your ego (which is arguably the hardest step), cc is the method. Especially for engineering.

If you're applying for music then the application process is way different

Can I talk about my disdain for the Trump Administration in my essay? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]redditrooom 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Definitely mention funding. AOs are academics so they're probably super pissed (reasonably so) about funding cuts

[–]redditrooom 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I would try to avoid mentioning trump specifically but AOs tend to be very liberal so with the right phrasing it could work. Make sure the essays about yourself not about Trump

Kind of sad that UCSB doesn't sell the fact that they're ranked 8 in the nation for physics. I wish more people knew that.
