<p>does anyone know how uci is respected on east coast especially in pittsburgh area?
how is it compared to penn state, upitt, or other state schools?</p>
<p>Nobody knows of UCI over there lol. Even the likes of UCSD and UCLA are not well respected in those parts cause they’re public schools. Not sure how the east coast’s own public schools fare in that respect. UCI is pretty well regarded in California though.</p>
<p>I can tell you that people on the West Coast don’t know that UVA is a good school. </p>
<p>UCLA and UCB have SOME reputation on the East Coast, but really you’d be fighting an uphill battle.</p>
