UCI vs UCSC

<p>how does irvine compare with santa cruz? i got accepted into both as a biology major. thank you!</p>

<p>i would HIGHLY recommend uci over ucsc especially as a bio major.</p>

<p>thank you for you input. for what reasons would you recommend uci?</p>

<p>also i was wondering how the two schools compare in general, not just their bio programs</p>

<p>academically it's not really a contest.</p>

<p>in terms of overall rank, UCI is ranked 44th in the nation; UCSC is ranked 76th according to USNews.</p>

<p>in addition, UCI has one of the best bio programs in the uc system.</p>

<p>i'll allow current students to elaborate. i'm just talking from a soon-to-be student point of view.</p>

<p>UCI is higher in top college ranking than UCSC. Maybe you should also visit both schools to compare.</p>
