<p>Hey everyone, I only got in to UCSD as Undeclared (Didn't get CSE, as I wanted) and UCSC for Computer Science. </p>
<p>From what I've heard, computer science tends to pay just a bit more than mathematics.</p>
<p>Plus, I don't think I would like really high level, conceptual math.. where I could definitely see myself coding or something in the future.</p>
<p>If I were to go to UCSD, I would try to do CS, but would probably end up doing mathematics (with a possible minor in Computer Science). </p>
<p>In terms of getting a job after college (just undergrad) which would be better? Computer Science from UCSC or Mathematics with minor in CS from UCSD?</p>
<p>I like doing both, but would be more happy at a job working with software programming and stuff than i would be at a statistics or whatever math job what have you.</p>
<p>Please recommend a school for me! Thank you.</p>
<p>It probably does not make as much difference as you think it does either way, since a math/CS major or math major with lots of CS courses should be able to handle technical questions for a CS job interview. However, if you do not like math enough to major in it, you may find attending a school where you can major in CS to be more enjoyable (although the CS theory courses will be much like advanced math courses, and being able to handle math tend to correlate well to being able to do CS).</p>
<p>UCSC does have some local recruiting advantage to Silicon Valley computer companies, while UCSD has some local recruiting advantage in southern California.</p>
<p>At UCSD, you can still try to change into the CS major, but it is a competitive admission process: <a href=“Home | Computer Science”>Home | Computer Science;
<p>UCSC offers a lot of advantages, OP. Have you resolved the distance-from-home dilemma?</p>
<p>UCSC has an excellent CS major and since you’re not sure you’d like to major in math, it’d probably be the best choice.</p>
<p>As jkeil said, how did you solve your dilemma?</p>
