What colleges are you attending UCI over?

just list the colleges you are not attending that are generally ranked above UCI.

I got in for Spring semester at Berkeley and UCI offered me a nice scholarship. It was a good call for me, although I'm sure it would have been cool at Berkeley too.

Although SB is lower ranked than irvine, SB has better business / economics programs. i guess i just like Irvine better overall. its a nice city.

I don't hate on any race. You don't know what race I am. What I don't care for is the attitude of those who claim UCI is better than UCSB or UCD when in fact they are considered to be in the same middle tier. To each their own. Nor Cal is cool. Peace out. LOL

But you always claim that UCD is better than UCI or UCSB when they are in fact considered to be in the same middle tier! Are you Davis alumni by any chance?

And amiradaprincess I could never choose UCSD over Irvine. I'm a little biased because my boyfriend goes there but props to yah for getting in and then rejecting them!

I don't make any claim without giving a link or some facts. Are you a UCI student? If I give an opinion, I say it is my opinion. If you feel that UCI is the best, go to it, just don't state it as a fact. I think that all the UC's have their strengths and weaknesses, but Nor Cal > So Cal. LOL
