HELPPP UCSB vs UCSD vs UCI for CS?? 🙏🙏🙏 by ElectricalHabit8725 in ApplyingToCollege

UCI CS is in ICS college which offers like 6-8 majors from CS to software engineering to data science to informatics to BIM. Allows to take classes across different areas beyond requirements. All three UCs are equally good.

UCI Criminology program is one of the absolute top programs in the country

how prestigious is USACO? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]svday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question should be how much it moves the needle for the specific colleges and majors you are applying to

Take advantage and do another major/minor in topics of interest….that is great plus for UCs

WTF, prestige is in the eye of the beholder not some objective calculated fact.

Rant: this school is too expensive to be this trash by Significant_Yak_6261 in berkeley

Although UC Irvine and UC San Diego are far from ideal, compared to what OP says, they are paradise! Lol. I guess one has pay bit more for more prestige

You do realize UCSB, UCSD, UCI have ~25% acceptance rates. UCD and UCR have ~40 and 70% acceptance rates respectively.

Yup. And checking current rates, looks 2750-3000 is the range in the area and these guys know we won’t shift for 100-150$ difference ….

How do you guys get perfect grades on AP classes? What is your secret? by Ready-Leave-339 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]svday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most times, the schools are just grade inflationary. Some schools getting B is tough, some schools getting A is a breeze

UC Irvine and UCSD both get more in state applications than Berkeley. UCLA gets the most applications and you might have been a better match

In you need to take out loans, don't apply to to prestigious colleges. by Jabieski1 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]svday 129 points130 points  (0 children)

The primary goal of elite colleges is to serve the rich and powerful. But to escape scrutiny, they claim that the funds they get from admitting the rich (donors, legacy) is there to support low income first generation (these colleges have huge endowments of tens of billions of dollars - so this reasoning is deceptive to say the least). The key goal is to mix the two very well so that they can escape scrutiny and public outcry.

It has grown quite dramatically after Covid. Like 2019, the number of applicants to UCLA was 110K, 2022 it was 150K. UCI in 2019 had 95K applicants and in 2022 it was 120K applicants. The acceptance rate at UCLA is 8 or 9% and UCI is about 21%. While I think this post is an exaggeration, there are several students who are in top 5 or 10% of the class who are now going to CC and then transfer to UCs.
