Has anyone here turned down UCLA for UCSD?

ECE at UCSD is a bear of a major; but if you can hack it, you are among the few that can walk outta there into a $50- $80K job. There is also threads within the ECE major that allow one to pursue some very interesting stuff: electro-optics, communications, multi-processor machine language, and game engine design (perhaps; these profs are ‘guests’, and some of the best are not returning; eg. Engle). Some of the threads speak of a ‘social life’, and ‘fun events’… NONE of these students are CE/ECE majors however (or at least, not for long). Getting out of there in 5 years as an ECE major is doing well… and even then, you would have to be a Muir or Warren College student; Sixth is out of the question. Almost all EE departments are DOMINATED by Asian students; esp. UCLA, but at UCSD they are militant (against non-Cantonese heritages).
