What does pre science mean in UW?
It just means you are not in any major yet. The Pre-Major thing does not really mean anything. You are not restricted to applying for just science majors or anything. In other words, it’s UW’s version of being “undecided”.
What is the difference between pre-major and major?
Pre-major classes are classes that a student is required to take before declaring a major. A student will take the required classes before declaring a major to prove whether or not they will be successful in that area. Not every major or every school will require pre-majors.
How hard is it to get into CS at UC Berkeley?
Choosing a Computer Science Path There are two ways to study Computer Science (CS) at UC Berkeley: Be admitted to the Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) major in the College of Engineering (COE) as a freshman. Admission to the COE, however, is extremely competitive.
Is it a bad idea to get a CS degree and pre-med?
Feel free to comment if you have any specific questions. No, it is a great idea to get a CS degree and pre-med. It’s a reliable backup, because most premeds do not get accepted into medical school on the first try. If you don’t get in, you can still become a software engineer etc. However, you should plan your classes accordingly.
How hard is CS compared to other engineering majors?
Hard engineering programs like Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, etc. typically have 50\% washout rates. So seeing 15\% tells me CS is a bit easier. The material IS hard and complex; it’s often the hardest subject matter known to man.
Can You major in Computer Science and engineering at UW?
If you’re not admitted directly as a freshman, it’s unlikely you’ll be admitted to either computer science or computer engineering as a UW student. If you’re interested in an engineering degree other than computer engineering, select any engineering major (or engineering undeclared), as your first-choice major on your application.
