Just curious as to what schools there are in California offering electrical engineering that would likely accept an engineering student with the following:
Quite a lot of C's, GPA of about 2.5 - 2.9
,lots of W's & repeate classes?
Took about 10 years to finish at the 2 year college, starting before finishing high school though,
failed and repeated some classes at the 2 year college
(Also, if your curious, the struggles were due to quite a number of extensuating circumstances and obstacles that were over come.)
