UMich vs. UCSD

<p>hey guys I just got admitted to UMich economics department. I also got admitted to University of CA-San Diego's economics department. Which is better? i know Umich is a better school but it seems like UCSD's econ department is better. Plus, I am an out of state applicant. But I really like Umich. </p>

<p>any thoughts? suggestions?</p>

<p>Me too! I’m accepted into both schools… I chose UMich over UCSD. And I heard from Alexandre that Umich econ department beats/tied with most of the ivies.</p>

<p>really? cus I was looking it up and it says that UCSD’s econ department is ranked 12 in the nation while Umich…while lets just say it’s behind UCSD. Did I look in the wrong place?</p>

<p>^ try reading this thread: OFFICIAL University of Michigan Ross Business School Decisions - Class of 2013 (I don’t know how to link the page. sorry!)</p>

<p>I’m looking forward to getting into Ross. (I want to major in business fields). But If I go to UCSD, I can’t do that, so I decided to attend UMich.</p>

<p>According to the US News, UCSD’s Econ department is actually ranked #10 truucharms. Michigan’s is ranked #11, tied with Columbia, UCLA and Wisconsin. Penn’s Econ department is ranked #9, Brown and Cornell’s Econ departments are ranked out of the top 15. </p>

<p>Econ rankings are important, but so is the overall reputation of the university. UCSD is an excellent university, but Michigan is slightly better.</p>
