Cal Poly Pomona vs SJSU vs all UCs ( except for LA, Berkley, SD)

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>Major: electrical and computer engineering
Im a transfer student. Also an interntional student.
Please give me some advices where should go to.Thanks.
give me some rank also.</p>

2

<p>UCSB or SJSU. Combination of all factors - reputation, location, cost, program strength, etc.</p>

3

<p>How Cal Poly Pomona? I heart they are better than SJSU some way.</p>

4

<p>How enigneering at UCI compared to another also?</p>

5

<p>For that major I might choose SJSU simply due to location. I prefer San Jose much more heavily to LA. Also, SJSU is a huge feeder into Silicon Valley regardless of program strength.</p>

6

<p>I would go with UCI.</p>

<p>It doesn't matter what you say. a UC is still a UC.</p>

<p>And UCI isn't even bad. I can't understand why no one suggested a UC school... </p>

<p>If you're a transfer student, then location probably doesn't really matter for you since it's just atmosphere.<br>
I mean I guess SJSU is nice because it's near silicon Valley. But what's nice about most UC Engineering schools is that those employers come looking for you. </p>

<p>Look at US News Rank for 2008 Undergrad, Irvine is rank 48. Top 50 then right?</p>

I doubt the employment opportunities would be better from UCI than SJSU.</p>

<p>mmm. Oh well. I don't think that's that big a deal.</p>

<p>(to thread poster). Are you Asian? If you're Asian, you're probably looking for a name school. UCI is probably the most named out of all those. </p>

<p>SJSU is a feeder to Silicon Valley because they are straight out of undergrad. If you're planning on going to Graduate School. You still want the best program. That settled, it's still UCI.</p>

<p>Outside of the top 20-25, I'd say the relative rankings decrease in importance/significance. The important thing is that Southern California (hightech) employers recruit from all the major area schools (Cal Poly and Calstate, Caltech, HarveyMudd, UCSD/UCLA/UCI.) From what i recall, in the dot-com heyday (when anyone who had a pulse could get a job), school didn't matter as much. When the party ended, Caltech UCSD and UCLA grads still had prospects, but recruitment from the remainder got a lot harder.</p>

<p>Now that hard times have hit again, having gradschool as a back-up plan is perhaps a good idea.</p>

<p>hehe, why does everyone say that? Is it because Chinese students there are so dangerously under-represented? :)</p>
