Samuel’s Answer

Hi Canming! I graduated from the University of California, Irvine. I initially applied as a mechanical engineer, planning to double major in aerospace engineering. I decided to change my major to Computer Science with a specialization in Information during my third year. Many of my peers at UCI majored in a Biomedical related major. In my experience, there was plenty of options and resources to switch to another STEM related major, so options are good.

The biggest advantage that I saw as a Computer Science major was the opportunities presented specifically for internships and career fairs. As a lot of industries are based in the area or starting to open up in the area when I was in the program, many major companies as well as smaller startups both looking for fresh talent.

Samuel recommends the following next steps:

If you can, look for the Fiske Guide To College. It lists rankings of schools and details regarding the resources available there.
Try to arrange as man tours of campuses you can and ask questions about the programs there, as tours are usually given by students.

Hi Canming

If you are in San Francisco and want to stay in the area, Stanford and Berkley have good programs. In Southern CA, you have UCLA

Good luck !
