–“A ranking of anthropology programs I found included UCSB as the only UC on the list. The ranking seemed a little dubious, though.”

Which rankings there these? Can you link to it?

–“One of my best friends is getting her anthropology degree from UCSB and claims it’s a great program.”

Interesting…I wonder how so. I’ll definitely consider anthro from UCSB if it is far better than others in that subject.

–“I would have to say try UCLA. It’s a great school overall and their anthropology major is one of their least impacted, so you can get in. Mind you, that just because it’s not impacted, doesn’t mean it’s not a good program. I know UCLA is very research-based, so rest assured that what you learn is the most up to date data you can get.”

Yeah I was thinking that UCLA would be great for a lot of reasons too. I imagine their cultural anthropology programs are bigger than their physical. Certainly a good school but I do wonder how much better (if it is better than it at all) is UCLA better than UCB?
