UCLA vs UCSD bioengineering

<p>which one is easier to get into?</p>

<p>i know UCSD's bioengineering dept ranks really high up there...is that enough to make it harder to get into UCSD as a bioE major than getting into UCLA with the same major?</p>

<p>I have the same question!</p>

<p>It really isn’t as if one is easier than the other. I got in to UCSD for bio (9th globally) while I was wait listed at UC Davis (not even close). </p>

<p>Oh, and UCLA ranks one notch above UCSD for bio, actually. UCSD is ninth, UCLA is eighth.</p>

<p>My son got into UCSD but not into the Bioengineering Department which was his first choice. Then, just yesterday he did get accepted to UCLA in Bioengineering and was given a $10K/Year “Achievement” Scholarship; go figure, particularly since we live in San Diego county? He also got into UC Davis and is waiting on his reach schools, Stanford and Columbia (I guess you never know…).</p>
