<p>Which is more competitive? Cal or UCSD bioengineering? Cal is known for hardcore engineering while bioengineering is THE strongest (and most competitive, I believe) major at UCSD.</p>
<p>I don't know much about the reputation out in the field, but I'm also bioE for U.C.'s and out of those choices will be choosing Cal just because of the strength of its other programs. It's awfully nice to be interested in bioE now, but who knows what the future holds? To me, Cal seems to have the most opportunities overall.</p>
