<p>hey guys,
im a hs senior living in san diego and still wondering which school i should go in the fall. i applied to major in economics in all three schools and also understand that sdsu has a good business program. I know that going to a school in the uc system helps a lot with applying to grad schools and getting a job. what school do you guys think i should go to?</p>
<p>any advice would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>You shouldn't have a problem getting a job with an undergraduate business degree at SDSU. Although, if you want to major specifically in "economics" and go to a grad school you might want to take the UCSC route. Although if you have a specific business emphasis i.e. finance or accounting, I would definitely go to SDSU.</p>
<p>I would pick UCSC, then UCR, then SDSU.</p>
<p>Saved is on the money. IF you want to do business, go to SDSU. If you want to do economics, go to UCSC or Riverside.</p>
<p>All three will get you into graduate school.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice, but if my plan was to go to one of those schools and then transfer to a better one the year after, would it make a difference which one i go to this year?</p>
<p>I don't understand why anyone would want to go to SDSU. Less than 15% of the students graduate in 4 years.</p>
<p>yeah. that 15 percent ratio is for the HIGH SCHOOL class of 99', academic standards have gone up and will be very high for the class of 05'. That 15 percent could potentially be similiar to say UCSB's current graduation rate.</p>
<p>But scoot I wouldn't recommend going to SDSU then, because I don't know how the units align relative to other schools. If you want to transfer to a better UC, go to UCSC or R. IF you want to transfer to Cal Poly go to SDSU. If you're transferring into a private school after a year, either of the three work.</p>
<p>Hm. The current PR statistics are still alarming though (though I'm pretty sure those weren't the class of '99). What's going on? Are there simply too many people there without proper guidance? I could definitely imagine a massive campus of chaos if no one could get the courses they needed to graduate.</p>
<p>Freshmen Returning for Sophomore Year: 82%
Freshmen Graduating in 4 years: 9%
Freshmen Graduating in 6 years: 44%
Students Going to Graduate School Upon Graduation: 3%</p>
<p>Strangely enough most of the UC's have students graduating in 4 years to be in the 30-50s range. That's quite frightening actually.</p>
<p>edit: savedbythebell, i don't think those were for the class of '99, most of the college rankings statistics are taken from those reported in US news, usually two years in lag time I believe. Does anyone else know for sure?</p>
<p>Well obviously, in order to report 4- and 6-year graduation rates, you would have to report the percentage of freshmen who entered in 1998 and graduated by 2002 and 2004.</p>
<p>thanks blue. Wait until you see my classes graduation rates before you judge. In the last 5 years the average GPA has gone from a 3.0 to a 3.6 at SDSU. So you're looking at the graduation statistics for a class that had an average GPA of 3.0 coming from high school. I believe a .6 increase is rather significant. We shall see.</p>
