My plan was to go to Cal Poly Pomona, but my major is impacted (Computer Science). I was only able to apply for the Fall 2027 semester, which is a year from now. Any acceptance letter telling me the school's decision would be long after classes start again at one of the Cal State campuses, and all of the Cal States require me to make a decision by November 1st, so in a couple of weeks. Really not sure what the smarter choice is between attending one of the Cal States with an acceptable CS program until I hear back, trying to get work in the field if possible until then, or maybe an internship for the time being. Was anyone else in a similar position? Any advice would be appreciated!
