<p>I got into UCSD as a bioengineering/premed major and also got into UCB as a bioengineering major.</p>

<p>The problem is these two majors I chose are not accredited by ABET.
I am really confused. I mean, UCSD is giving me a great scholarship, yet Berkeley isn’t. However, if I go to UCSD, I won’t be able to change my major to the ABET-accredited bioengineering major, since it is an impacted major. (Well, if I go to Berkeley, I would be able to explore more programs which are more prestigious than UCSD’s)</p>

<p>what options do I have?</p>

<p>Should I just go to UCB or go to UCSD for a scholarship?</p>

<p>i dont know if this helps, but my son rec'd scholarships to both UCSD & Bezerk - between those 2, it's UCSD hands down! he's in engineering as well! but unfortunately/fortunately for him, he's also considering a couple of ivies.</p>

<p>Well, I know a few people (my best friend included) who got into all the UCs but are going to UCSD for the bioengineering. Most even without the scholarship.</p>
