<p>Hello everyone,
This is the first time I post on this website and please give me some advise about it.
I know this topic has a super long debate. But according to your opinion, if I graduate from UC with normal GPA like 3.0 or graduate from CSU with good GPA like 3.5, which one will make better chance for me to get the job UC with 3.0 or CSU with 3.5.
Please answer for me because I only have a month to decide which is better for me. In my opinion, UCs are still better and I like UCD so bad, but my mom just wants me to reconsider again.</p>
<p>Go where you want to be at. Jobs are for old people.</p>
<p>I agree with the above statement…kinda. I think it also depends on your major and your goals for your career. What kind of job do you want? Anything specific? Are you going to stop at a bachelors or do you plan to continue on?</p>
<p>Well my major is computer science and minor in math. I like UCD so bad because it has a good program for science and many of my friends are studying there, I also traveled UCD for a few times and I love it so much</p>
<p>Ok…well, UCD is a great school.</p>
<p>Make sure you tell your parents that its</p>
<p>1) Your education
2) Your choice</p>
<p>and that you will try your best once you go to UCD. Overall UCD outranks most CSU’s (If not all), and same grade, UCD will get you the job (more or less likely). </p>
<p>Ive visited UCD last week. It was very very very hot, but I did appreciate the college town atmosphere. It is my 3rd school (ideally; but #1 realistically). </p>
<p>Hope to see you there! :)</p>
<p>Which CSU(s)? Among the CSUs, Cal Poly SLO and SJSU appear to be well recruited for CS, though some of the other ones may not be.</p>
<p>Also, is your mother contributing any money, and is the cost of the various schools significantly different?</p>
<p>Neither. It’s what you do during those years in college that matters. I recently rejected a UCI student with 3.8 GPA (no experience) for one that went to CSULB (3.2 GPA with loads of experience). Go to whatever school you want and do your best. Get as many experience/projects/etc as you can. School reputation is one thing, but it plays a small role in getting you a job. And don’t assume that if you were to get a 3.0 at a UC, you’ll do better at CSU.</p>
<p>Additionally, I would suggest that you polish up your spelling and syntax usage. I know that computer science and math majors don’t think you need to have good use of grammar, but in the workplace, it does make a difference.</p>
<p>UCD has good recruitment: <a href=“https://ucdavis-csm.symplicity.com/events/students.php?mode=list&cf=epsfair13[/url]”>https://ucdavis-csm.symplicity.com/events/students.php?mode=list&cf=epsfair13</a></p>
<p>Some notable companies: Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia.</p>
<p>just to add in some info (not sure if 100% correct or not) but usually CSUs are made for getting jobs right after college meaning straight to work after a bachelors and working your way up the chain after that. UCs are meant to be gears more towards research which is why graduate school is so popular among UC students. Did you want to work straight after college or did you want to go for a masters/phd/medical/etc?</p>
<p>I am planning to study for master and work at the same time.</p>
<p>i think usually CSU grads don’t go onto graduate programs but theres always people who do. I believe i’ve heard that CSUs were geared towards more hands on learning and learning the important things needed to grab a job right after school. Whereas UCs are geared more towards research and more theoretical stuff, which is why a lot of people graduating from UCs enter graduate programs.</p>
<p>Obviously it doesnt apply to everyone. If you want to go to a CSU and go to grad school after while working, you can. If you were to get the same GPA in a CSU as a UC, I’d probably advise you to go to a UC but if you know you can do better in a CSU then go for it. As long as you do well in school opportunities will come.</p>
<p>EDIT: Also, i forgot to mention that your school name + gpa pretty much only matter for you if you apply to graduate school right after undergrad or for your first job. After that, its all about your work experience + recommendations</p>
