Hi. I am an international student, majoring in electrical engineering. I have been accepted to UIUC and UCLA, and I am having trouble deciding where to go. UIUC's engineering is ranked 4th, which is quite a bit higher than UCLA (14th), but UCLA's overall reputation is better, especially in Asia. I plan to do an MBA later. I heard from others than if I go to UIUC, my engineering career will be very good, but i will have better chances to be accepted at top business schools if I go to UCLA. Also, UCLA seems to be a more prestigious school that UIUC, as the acceptance rate is much lower. UIUC is known to be a "safety" school at my high school. Can anyone give me some advice? Costs is not a issue. And which university will give me a better college experience and life?
