<p>In general, UCSD has a slight edge over UCLA in the hard sciences.</p>
<p>Chemistry: UCSD: 21; UCLA: 16
Physics: UCSD: 14; UCLA 19
Engineering: UCSD: 14; UCLA 16
Computer Science: Both 14</p>
<p>UCLA however, has a strong edge in law: UCSD: 61; UCLA: 15</p>
<p>Business: UCSD: not ranked (+100), UCLA: 15</p>
<p>a significantly better hospital (honor roll), and a generally much more significant edge in humanities (in general probably at least +15.) These things are what accounts for UCLA’s prestige.</p>
<p>Few universities are exceptional in all fields. UCSD can keep its slight edge in the hard sciences if it means that UCLA can keep its much larger edge in nearly anything else.</p>
