Help - Got accepted into UC Riverside, UC Santa Cruz and UC Merced

<p>I got accepted into the following UCs:</p>

<p>UC Santa Cruz (3/2 dual degree)
UC Riverside
UC Merced</p>

<p>For UC SC, I got admitted into 3/2 dual degree (business management
major in UC SC and Computer Science in UC Berkeley).
Does anyone know which UC is better if I want to pursue
a career in Computer Science and/or MBA?</p>

<p>I would say UCSC simply because it is a stronger UC. UC Merced really has very little reputation and UC Riverside is generally considered the weakest UC next to Merced. I think UCSC would probably give you the best chances of getting a job in CS or MBA. It's pretty focused on undergrad (more so than other UCs, anyway).</p>

<p>^^ agreed. UCSC would be your best option, even though it's not a huge step ahead of UCR.</p>

<p>Ucsc Is Kick Butt</p>

<p>Visit Santa Cruz bcos some kids just don't like the atmosphere. The auto transfer to Cal is difficult, so check out how many kids apply and actually make it. From an employer's perspective, there is little difference in degrees from the UCs below San Diego, so the reputation of Merced (or lack thereof) is not meaningful, IMO. The downside to Merced is that it still doesn't have a full complement of students or classes. But, if they have a full CS program, it would be a fine choice, if you don't like the atmosphere at SC.</p>

<p>Congrats.</p>

<p>Thank you all very much for the help. I will go look at the UCSC campus and see if I like it, and make a decision accordingly. Thank you once again.</p>
