<p>I have been admitted to ucsd but the major is my second choice,biochemistry/ chemistry, however, my first choice is bioengineering. How is ucsd's biochemistry/ chemistry? Will it be competitive to change my major to bioengineering?And the college admitted is John Muir, hows the atmosphere here?
And Im also admitted to U of Washington. I also choose bioengineering as my major, but UW havent decided my major, UW just make pre-engineering as my major.
I love both these universities, but i feel so complicated which one i shoud accept offer.
Could you guys give me some advice?</p>
<p>UCSD’s Biochem/Chem program is really great. If you’re looking for a job in biotech or pharmaceuticals, UCSD grads do very well because there are so many of these companies that are in the area. Many of them even start at UCSD.</p>
<p>Yes, UCSD biochemistry is fantastic. </p>
<p>Are you in-state for UCSD or Washington? Would both be about the same price for you? </p>
<p>If you desire a full, traditional college atmosphere (big sports, social scene, etc.), Washington will provide that more so than UCSD. Also, I think Washington may be on semesters (I could be wrong) while UCSD is on the quarter system. Just something to consider.</p>

<p>OP, the better research in the area of biomedical engineering is happening at UCSD and UC Berkeley, along with MIT. UDub doesn’t crack the top 10, actually.</p>

Im an international student, so the tuition of UCSD would be higher than washington at least about $10,000. I have no idea which kind of atmosphere I like…</p>

I think I have seen UDub’s bioengineering is top 6 in the US New’s. But if I attend UCSD in the autumn, I have to consider how to change my major to bioengineering. And if I havent change my major successfuly, what should i do? to study in the college of science for 4 years?</p>
<p>@samuelarnold
I have no plan which kind of word i want to look for, I just want to major in bioengineering. Are there much a lot of students want to change major to bioengineering every year? would it be competitive if i change my major?</p>
<p>help help help( not too short)</p>
<p>I think you should post your questions on the UCSD section of this website: [Alphabetic</a> List of Colleges - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/alphabetic-list-colleges/]Alphabetic”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/alphabetic-list-colleges/) then click on UCSD in the list.</p>
