<p>Where would u rank these 2nd tier UCs among each other. The fact that they belong to the same tier makes them relatively close to each other in terms of education. What makes each of them unique? I recently was accepted to Irvine and now im waiting on UCLA and UCSD</p>

<p>Really Davis before both Santa Barbara and Irvine?</p>
<p>SD is generally considered a tier below Berkeley and LA, but above UCD, UCSB, and UCI.
Davis and Santa Barbara are pretty close, but SB has the edge in engineering.
SB has a reputation as the UC party school.
I’d say Irvine is the lowest of the four.</p>

<p>Irvine is often voted as one of lower of the 4s by the nation but the majority of students in Socal find it to be the primary second option due to its intangibles, being so close to Orange COunty.</p>

<p>I should have said UCD/UCSB, and irvine is only a notch below them in my opinion, but still the lowest of the 4. UCSD is the best by a decent amount</p>
