For my engineer class i need to score 49% on final to maintain C and 70% to get B, but i dont need this class to transfer its also not recommended for UCSD(I’m committing to this school). This would be my last semester at ccc, i dropped one class already(that’s also not required or recommended) should i stay in this class for knowledge or should i drop it and focus on other two required classes? Even if i get all C this semester, my gpa will still be above 3.6, my units is already 90+ so gpa and credit requirement is not a big issue.

Should i drop or not,what if i get lower than 50% on final and get D😭 it’s engineering circuit class, anything could happen will they rescind me if i get D? What about 2 W on my transcript.
Need some advice 🙏

Hello guys, I am a junior transfer student as the title says, which one should I choose?

Obviously UCLA is more prestigious, but I’d be in a less competitive major for the field I’m in, competing for opportunities and resources that top students are already chasing.

Add on to this, i can major in Ling&CS and minor in data science engineering and might have a chance to change my major to math of computation (i dont know how possible this is, i am following ce path at my ccc so i should be done with moc admission requirements for all lower div classes)

At UCSD, I’d already be in a top major and still competing for opportunities, but the school name doesn’t carry the same instant recognition as UCLA. UCLA is a name almost everyone recognizes immediately, while with UCSD I feel like I sometimes have to explain it more.

UCSD will take me at least 3 years to graduate and UCLA will take me 2 years to graduate

Honestly, I don’t really care what specific field I study as long as it can help me land a good job and set me up well for the future. I’m willing to work hard and learn whatever I need to.

EDIT: ive heard school name matters a lot and will land you your first job. Plus recruiter probably won’t even know my ucla major and will consider it as double major. And i have minor and chance of change major which is even better

As title says. Should i go to uci for ce or ucla for cs&ling

From my relatives, they told me that school name is more important than your majors nowadays, they don’t care about what major you are in, they care that you are in a great/insane school and proceed everything and succeed in the field that I am in

according to online; CE is definitely better than ling&cs BA

But obviously UCLA>UCSD(namewise)

I know reddit will say people care more about your experience, but like no shit, everyone knows that , but if i have ability and the confidence to land on an internship easily or already have experience in my field then I won’t be here asking these questions.

I’m already at disadvantage as CCC transfer student since people in UC probably already done 100 billion internships and I have no experience.

in summary,

UCLA have better name and potentially better opportunity but bad major (maybe i can minor in data science engineerr

UCSD have decent major which i can learn a lot but namewise is weaker and potentially less opportunities than UCLA

What do you guys think🤔
I beed sone honest advice

I want to work in stem field but how much does school name matter for first job.
I’ve heard name matters a lot in a job field, i’ve also heard major matters a lot.
If you were me what choice would you make. I need some honest advice

Hello guys, i really need some help on this one

I am transfer student,

So i got into

Ucla linguistic and computer science

I also got into UCSD computer engineering program

Linguistic and computer science is like the bottom major of cs field but it is ucla

Ucsd ce program is very decent but ucla sounds better

My uncle told me company care more about what school you are in to, you are in top 10 school and graduated with the field you are interested in, that what they care about.

This sounds reasonable but i am not familiar with hr stuff so idk if it’s real.

I am also considering that the cs market is so bad right now, if cs people can not find a job why would they choose me over cs major people.

Maybe I can change major after getting in? Is it possible?idk. Maybe double major…?

Money is not what i have to worry about and i have to live in dorm on campus no matter what I choose

Hellllp

Edit: I don’t have a preference, i can work in any field as long as it can get me a decent job

Also i heard some very interesting idea says that ai can replace any field nowadays, ling&cs+dse minor could get you involved into multiple fields so you are less likely to get replaced one day

Also Ling&CS is BA
CE is BS
