<p>ok i know im asking this question kind of late... few days before sir is due. but uci or ucsb.
I most likey want to do accounting and be able to take CPA. i got accepted to uci business econ) and ucsb( econ and accounting) what are the difference between these two? i know uci has accounting minor but is it competitive? can any1 give me some advice. uci is closer to my home which i like but idk.</p>

<p>Yes it is competitive. I think the average gpa is ~ 3.7 .</p>

<p>I would choose UCSB. They already have a nice accounting program that sends plenty of students to the big 4. But if it cost too much then choose UCI. I think both schools will be fine.</p>

<p>I would say both schools are equal pretty much although UCI’s grad MBA program is TOP 50 in the country so that may give their school a little more credit… But overall consider the environment… The schools are very different in terms of campus culture… UCI is more of a commuter school and UCSB is known for their parties and social life… I hear UCI has by far the best on campus housing and UCSB has a huge housing shortage… </p>

<p>Have you toured either school? Overall I think you can’t make a bad decision but I would research both campus environments… You can read reviews from other students on y e l p.com or college p r o w l er .com </p>

<p>Best bet would be to tour both campus’s or spend the day in Santa Barbara but it may be a little late for that! ha </p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>right now they’re both about par.</p>

<p>choose based on the environment and the cost. Also consider the courses you’ll take.</p>

<p>UCI does have a solid business program though and it’s climbing up through the ranks rapidly though. Research Merage. It’s probably harder to get into than Haas at this point.</p>

<p>according to wiki
