How can I best prepare myself in high school for an SoE major?
Engineering admission is very competitive. We encourage you to prepare yourself beyond the basic requirements for UC admissions. This may involve taking community college classes in your community or even online, if your school does not offer AP math and science courses. Work closely with your high school counselor and meet with the UCSC admission counselor who comes to visit your school. Take high school calculus (or at least pre-calculus) and physics. Chemistry is recommended. Take biology if you are considering the field of bioinformatics. If possible take an entry level computer programming class. This will prepare you as well as enable you to discover whether or not you enjoy programming and will guide you to the best match of a major within engineering. Develop effective study skills, in particular time management strategies. Maintain a high GPA and follow all the other admission advice for first-year UC applicants.
