  • Location/Region: Not in a huge city, but preferably somewhat close to one. Next to the coast or having nearby recreational activities within day trip driving distance would be a huge plus. I'm from Northern California.

  • Major: Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering (Maybe CS?)

  • GPA/Test Scores: 4.0 Unweighted, 4.3 weighted, 4.2 UC. 1580 (780RW/800M) SAT

  • Curriculum: No strong preference

  • Size: I'm not a huge fan of tiny class sizes (such as 25-75 students with opportunities for 1-on-1 feedback). No preference on campus/student body size

  • Costs: I think full pay

  • Schools You're Currently Looking At: UCs (could I get help on which ones specifically?), Caltech, Gatech, Stanford, USC, UMich, UMD, UW Seattle, UT Austin, Stanford, CMU, MIT, Cornell, Purdue, UIUC, UChicago, Cal Poly, WashU

  • Additional: The nicer weather the better, I'm not a huge fan of snow. Having at least 2 years (preferably 4) of guaranteed on-campus housing is basically a deal-breaker unless living off-campus is really cheap. I would love to live next to a tech area with internship possibilities.

oh sorry i forgot to add that i applied to ASU in early august and got in
i think it serves as my safety because i would be perfectly happy to go if nothing works out? i gave this a good thought and the same can’t be said for some of the other prospective safety schools i considered

Berkeley would be a great UC school if you're unsure about EE/ece/CS.

#

Berkeley EECS lets you take (almost) any combo of courses in ee, CS, or eecs

Are you looking for a full ride or are you paying yourself
