and this is UCSB:

Chemistry (31st),
Computer Science (34th),
Earth Sciences (21st),
Economics (36th),
Electrical Engineering (19th),
English (28th),
History (32nd),
Materials Science and Engineering (3rd),
Mathematics (42nd),
Physics (10th),
Political Science (48th),
Psychology (47th),
Sociology (29th).

especially compare UCI's chem and bio to UCSB's chem a bio..huge difference...

All this is undergrad...UCI's sciences rank A LOT higher than UCSB so its gonna look better to have a degree from UCI when ur applying for med school or pharmacy school...and u have to think about "connections" as stated in my earlier post
