<p>recently i got accepted to UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, and UC San Diego
I am still waiting on acceptance from Berkeley and UCLA
but i am having a hard decision on which one to pick purely based on academics.
In what order do u think these schools rank in for best in economic undergraduate</p>
<p>thank you very much</p>
<p>Berkeley econ is tops. I would say UCLA comes in second. You might be interested in their bizecon program.</p>
<p>In what way? Recruiting for careers? Admission to graduate economic programs? Undergraduate research? (There are no rankings for these things and you should just research it independently)</p>
<p>For graduate economic programs:</p>
<ol>
<li>UCB</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
</ol>
<p>If you don't get into Berkley or UCLA then the best graduate economic program of the three you mentioned is UC San Diego.</p>
<p>San Diego's econ department is actually very strong in Econometrics, particulatily Time Series/Forecasting....</p>
<p>how good is UCI's econ dept?</p>
