<p>Which one would you recommend to attend:</p>

<p>Math/Econ at UCLA or Applied Mathematics at UCB?</p>

<p>UCB Math department ranking's is the second best in the world. UCLA is # 10.</p>

<p>But USNews ranks UCLA to be the second best nationwide in Applied Math and UCB # 8. but again I don't know how that compares to the Math/Econ major at UCLA?</p>

<p>Don't get me wrong, Both are Great schools and wonderful programs, but which one would you go for in terms of the posted majors.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>do you even know what those rankings are based off of? It doesn’t make sense to choose a program over another if you don’t know why one is ranked higher than the other. I wouldn’t make a decision based on what a magazine says. At the undergraduate level, the differences in the programs are negligible.</p>

<p>What JetForce is trying to say is: UCB’s math department is one of the best in the world. UCLA’s is up there too. Go with what feels right.</p>

<p>Fully agree with JetForce.</p>
