Cal Poly,UCSB,UCD,Univ of WA..which I got to choose?

<p>My major is Mathematics
and the most difficult to be accepted one is absolutely Cal Poly Slo
But academically UCSB,UCD and Univ of washington are very attractive.
which one I have to choose. appreciated.</p>

<p>All are fine schools and will offer a great education and plenty of opportunities going forward. I’m guessing UW is out of state and much more expensive - if you aren’t made of money, that should weigh heavily. Among the others, they are very different environments. Go to the admitted student day at each and figure out which one ‘fits’ the best. Where will you perform best? Which one feels most like home?</p>

<p>Congrats and good luck!</p>

<p>I live in wa. so univ of wa , I don’t have to pay any money for tuision</p>

<p>If UW is free and the CA schools are out of state, UW it is.</p>

<p>As a Washington resident, the University of Washington makes the most sense from a cost perspective, and it is a fine place to study math.</p>

<p>Be aware that the math major requires a 2.20 to 2.50 GPA in prerequisite courses for admission (not very high), while the applied computational and math sciences major is competitive admission (probably because it is seen as an alternate to the highly competitive computer science major): <a href=“http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/majors-and-minors/list-of-undergraduate-majors/”>http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/majors-and-minors/list-of-undergraduate-majors/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>ranking of Univ of washington mathematics is 25th in U.S news
UCSB, UCD may be around 40~46
Cal poly ranking does not exist…</p>

<p>Since you are concerned about rankings, and UW is both the highest ranked and least expensive, why is it even a question?</p>

<p>Yes, the slightly higher bar to enter the math major at UW may be a concern, but a student who gets below a 2.50 GPA in math courses will probably switch majors to something other than math.</p>

<p>You are right… thank you for your good words. tuition free and good system Univ is Univ of washington. thanks again.</p>
