<p>I was accepted to the electrical engineering graduate programs at UCLA and UC Irvine (actually also at UC Riverside).</p>
<p>My ultimate goal is to get a Ph.D. so that I can be a college teacher/professor. However, if I end up with MS, I can still live with it as an engineer. </p>
<p>UCLA told me to get a MS before I can be enrolled into their Ph.D. program.<br>
UCLA does not offer me a scholarship.</p>
<p>UC Irvine told me that I was accepted to their Ph.D. program.
UC Irvine can't tell me about scholarship since they require me to decide if I'm accepting the admission offer or not. Scholarship issue will be discussed only after my acceptance. </p>
<p>I have money to attend UCLA only for two years if I like to go, but I like to have some money left just in case that I could transfer to UCLA ph.D. program. However, getting into UCLA ph.D. program would be very hard.</p>
<p>If I decide on UC Irvine, I would have more chance to get scholarships and I don't need to apply for the Ph.D program since I'm already in. </p>
<p>Does anybody have any idea, which would be the better choice?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
