I applied to UCSD and UCI with a preferred computer science major and got accepted to both schools but undeclared. I can’t decide which school to attend both are ranked among the best. I know UCSD is slightly better but it is more competitive to be accepted to Computer Science. On the other hand, UCI has it’s own school of computer science which makes it easier to be accepted as a computer science major in the second year.
PLEASE HELP!! THANKS

UCI offers a much better chance of admission to the CS major. Before UCSD went to the current lottery system of applicants with 3.3, the admission threshold was 4.0 or 3.9.
@ucbalumnus thank you!!
