Hi! I’m an Environmental/Earth science major and I got accepted to UCI CHP, UCSD, and UCLA. Are the perks of UCI CHP worth the higher ranks of UCSD and UCLA? I believe UCSD and UCLA have better programs but I feel like all UC’s are pretty basic for undergrad so maybe the smaller classes and priority of CHP would be beneficial too.
UCI is a little closer to home (25 mins) which would be nice for me whereas UCSD is about 90mins away and UCLA is about 50 minutes away.
I’d go with the better programs at LA/SD, particularly SD. But if LA is a lot closer than SD for you then obviously that’s something that comes in to play.
