JBadua, I get rejected by UCLA, so I am going to attend UCSB
I am also in computer science, do you know how high the UCSB computer science graduate school rank, here you go

[2010</a> Ranking of Computer Sciences Graduate Schools — PhDs.org Graduate School Guide](<a href=“http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/computer-science/rank/larger]2010”>http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/computer-science/rank/larger)

neekzg · March 13, 2011, 1:52am

Why should grad school rankings be considered when looking at going to that school for undergraduate?

sentimentGX4 · March 13, 2011, 3:03am

Leakers, USNWR thinks differently.

grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings/page+2

I would not base my college decision off the rankings of a random website.

But thanks to the economic situation of California, a great many more OOS students have been accepted this year! UCLA is one of my top choices because of its location in Los Angeles! The weather, the girls, the chill personalities of Californians, the great reputation and prestige, and the solid academics of UCLA are all highly attractive to me. Now I’m just waiting on Berkeley (my absolute first choice).
