<p>i dont think ucr is better in any category than other uc's..well actually maybe their business school with an exception to berkeley because no one else has a business school...haha</p>
<p>Perhaps this professor who is hailed from Harvard and UCLA, took his own beliefs of self fulfilling prophecy and could make UCR respectable. Yeah i still think no.</p>
<p>Nah, don't generalize like that... ranking is NOT absolute, it is dynamics like fluid flow... and indeed, UCR has some good programs, too! </p>
<p>Personally speaking, their counselors, administration, admission process are very well organized... so are their programs. Also, I receive a lot of letters, poscards, one phone call (counselor asking me if i need any help or any concern and when I call them, they enthusiastically give me so much information...very nice indeed) and even a DVD regarding engineering program from UCR... I really feel that they care about the students and even the applicants who apply.
UCR indeed can rank #1 in the most caring about their students aspect. :D</p>
