<p>finally received the rejection display from ucla today..
i guess 3.81 and all the ecs wasn't good enough to la to..</p>

<p>so i have to decide on these two colleges...</p>

<p>does anyone know what's pro and cons of these two college?</p>

2

<p>hmm...UCSD is ranked higher...don't know about econ program though....both are good schools. Go to the one you want to.</p>

<p>I had similar stats and was rejected from UCB and UCLA in econ as well. I'll probably be going to UCSD in management science economics which isn't a bad alternative. UCSD's graduate economics department ranks just below UCB and above UCLA so I assume the undergrad is comparable. Good luck on your decision.</p>

<p>UCSD. Did you apply to SB? Good BizEcon program and my friends who go there love it.</p>

5

<p>Go with the school with more nobel prize winners in the field...UCSD.</p>

6

<p>thing i hear about ucsd econ is that its tough to get a job(and internship) with that major down there (la jolla).</p>

7

<p>I am in the same situation with u guys...got rejected by LA n berkeley... thinking to go to UCSD but still not sure lol... I don't know may be UCI ....</p>

8

<p>UCSD has an absolutely amazing econ program. I would definitely choose san diego over UCI in terms of good econ departments.</p>

<p>ya ucsd has a great econ program. plus irvine or san diego? is that even a question?</p>

10

<p>i love the irvine area :]</p>

11

<p>^^ I live in Irvine...very safe...very clean...very boring</p>

12

<p>safe clean but boring... seems like living in a forest or something. ahahha</p>

13

<p>Not to burst any bubbles... but La Jolla (UCSD) isn't that exciting. Just like Irvine, you will need a car to go and do anything fun.</p>

<p>Those who say Econ is "great" at UCSD, can you expand on this? How is it so great? What makes it better than others? I don't doubt you, it will just help me decide if I got UCSD or not.</p>

<p>UCSD Econ is top rated because its faculty managed to bag 4 nobel prizes within the past 5 years which indeed is a stupendous achievement..Plus UCSD is by far the best in Econometrics, which is the field of the future and which will continue to boom ......</p>
