<p>So I guess it ends up being UCR or SLO for me. I know SLO is better overall as I checked rankings for schools in CA and it was placed 19 being UCI while SLO was placed 27. However, for the nation's best public schools UCR at least placed no. 40 while SLO had nothing. Also, since I'm majoring in bio I saw that UCR placed 68 for overall in the nation while SLO had none. One plus for UCR is that I'm hoping to attain a higher gpa at UCR than SLO so I can get into a good grad school. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
