I’m not really sure how to rank the six colleges in UCSD when I’m applying. I did some research and it seems that students will take classes intersecting the six colleges and the main difference is rigor of GE and other courses concerning graduation requirements. I’m a political science/philosophy major.
I would post this under the UCSD thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/
This thread has a good explanation for the different colleges: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/1798550-ucsd-colleges-ranking.html
