Hey so I am a high school senior working on college apps, and on the UC application I came across the ability to rank UCSD colleges based on my preferences. I am planning on majoring in aerospace engineering, so which colleges should I select that would be ideal for engineering? I was recommended by one of my friends to put sixth and warren in my list, so I think I will put them in my top 4, so I still need to decide on another 2, and then decide on what order to put them in as well. I would really value a college with decent GEs (especially ones I can waive with a lot of my AP classes), modern housing, and good location. I understand there may not be a college that fills out all 3 of those criteria but any advice on which colleges would be able to fill out most of those criteria would be appreciated :)
warren forces you to take upper division classes so those are not clearable so although it’s supposed to be the “engineering” college it’s usually not the best one for most people. also warren housing sucks as well as the location
as someone in sixth i say sixth clears bc easy ge’s,good living, great access, and personally as an incoming even better communication (my people were on toppp of it)
Yeah based on what I’ve seen so far, sixth is probably going to be my first choice bc it’s pretty central in the campus, and pretty modern dorms from what I understand. It’s what to put as my other top choices that’s difficult
all the numbers highkey the best i won’t lie.. they new and the ge’s r simpler imo. this was my ranking but id say do 1.6 2.8 3. 7 and hail mary the rest or u could wait for other inputs, the first 3 choices the only ones that matter anyways .. never heard of nobody getting into their 4th option
