My options: UC Davis, UC Riverside, San Jose State University, San Diego State University
My major: Electrical Engineering

What are your thoughts?
I posted this yesterday but did not get too much advise.
Why not a calpoly like SLO or Pomona? They are meant for those technical degrees like engineering. Otherwise I'd rank it like this >UCD >San Jose >San Diego >Riverside (but only because Riverside is a fucking awful place to live, no idea of the quality of the school)
Hudson Howard
I applied to Calpoly, UCSD, UCI and got rejected.
Ryan Kelly
Go to UCD t. UCD student
Kevin Bell
Yeah go to Davis. You'll be happier there too. Don't fucking care about your AP scores.
I literally went to college with two years of credits because I finished high school by taking junior college courses. I still stayed all four years because I changed my major a couple times and couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Those credits really didn't do anything significant for getting me out of doing general education requirements in the end.
And seriously you'll probably be happier at Davis than those other shitholes.
Why didn't you apply anywhere out of state user?
Jonathan Nguyen
That would generally be pretty expensive (50k).
Jeremiah Moore
What you probably don't know is that, unlike cali, you can establish residency in most other states after a year of school. So you get in-state tuition at state schools.
Anyway you oughta go to Davis. Rural universities are the best. Way better than urban shit campuses.
David Rivera
What's the best way to prepare? I have two months and a half of school left, then two months of summer, as an estimate.
I'm not a good programmer and this is what worries me about doing EE.
How important is programming (in C for instance) prior to entering for an EE major?

>What's the best way to prepare? I have two months and a half of school left, then two months of summer, as an estimate. Have fun, unwind, decompress. That is the single most important thing you can do before college.
If you go hit the books now, you'll be what we call a "gunner" in law school. Don't be a gunner. They're losers and burn out fast.
Zachary Allen
UC Davis, go to woodstocks pizza. Tell em ole Jeff sent you.
Jayden Jenkins
>woodstocks Oh fuck THAT shit.
Carter Brown
I'm taking Physics at a Community College while in HS currently. Will I have to eventually retake this class when entering UCD?
If it doesn't, don't worry about it. Just enjoy the class. The material will be fresh in your mind when you take the class at Davis. If it doesn't transfer, see if taking proficiency exams is possible. You can skip prereqs sometimes that way.
Isaac Miller
Alright thanks guys. Right now it looks like I'm going to UCD. It transfers.
Yay. You're gonna like Davis user. Are you from the Bay area or Sacramento? It's not a bad drive at all.
Cooper Lewis
Good luck user. I'd buy you a beer if I could.
Anthony Jackson
San Marcos
Jason Gonzalez
community college, get 4.0, transfer to UCLA or CAL
Asher Sanders
Bare in mind that better universities will provide a better quality education which makes it easier to meet higher standards. It's not as basic as "ranked better -> harder".
Luis Thomas
wew, pure memepost
Why the fuck would you not transfer to Pomona, SC, or Stanford anyway?
Hunter Flores
assumed it was easier to transfer to state schools. i'm serious
Jason Cooper
You're seriously a meme.
Seriously son, gtfo with that trap plan.
Josiah Cook
i'm honestly all ears
Mason Sullivan
Does your GPA cap out at 4.0? that translates to around 70% in some other standards (but of course you can say 100% because if it caps out). Is there any way to know how good you really are, beyond the 4.0?
Asher Lewis
Virtually no higher education system does GPAs on anything but a 4.0 system. Some very few will do A+ grades as a 4.33, but I am of the opinion that those are bullshit. They're also the only exception.
Nolan Ortiz
i just meant to ace your coursework.
i'm happy to be wrong about this, maybe its glib advice. it would be less fun, and would require some diligence. but you'd save RB and tuition monies.
maybe a more risk averse plan would be to do UC (davis?), see how it goes, and if you're killing it, transfer. but if you're doing stem, you're probably fine doing whatever. have fun and do work.
Mason Brown
*facile might be a better word than glib
Noah Russell
Don't go to college unless you're okay with being a faggot. Literally the most useless shit in the world. Start your own business and make real income.
Ian Davis
could you send me a prospectus on the business you've started? im looking to invest in some real dumb faggots, and you look like just the ticket
Gavin Garcia
Oh shit you just roasted that nigga. HOLY MOTHER OF BASED!
