Hello!
I’ve recently been admitted to both Cal and UCLA as a Math major, and I’m having a hard time making a decision. I’m from LA, so attending UCLA would probably help me with my family around, but Cal is a great and prestigious school that I would love to attend. I am going to visit the campuses, so hopefully that will help me make my decision. But before I do that, I’d love answers to a few questions. Which school is better for Math majors, especially if you’re thinking about pursuing postgrad education? Is it easy to switch majors in these schools? If you chose either one, do you have any regrets? How good are the job opportunities in both areas?
Thanks so much!
The quality of the undergraduate math programs will be virtually indistinguishable.
The BIG difference between Berkeley and UCLA is that Berkeley is on a semester schedule, while UCLA is on a quarter schedule.
