I need help ranking the Colleges

Hi everybody!
I’m currently enrolled at a community college and am choosing UCSD for my TAG application. I’m hoping to get in for Human Biology, but what I’m concerned with most right now is ranking the colleges on the app. Right now, I have my top 3 narrowed down to Muir, Revelle, and Sixth.
When I transfer, I will have close to 90 semester units, and I know the most UC’s will take is about 60-70 and that any extra units will be applied as area credit. What that means is that I’ll end up having to take some filler classes to round out my unit credit for my B.S. Because of this, I was thinking that Revelle would be great. It would help focus my extra units in more applied fields.
That being said, Muir is looking great because of how laid back it is. I feel like if I went to Muir, I would be able to finish my unit requirements in courses that would most interest me as opposed to being forced to take classes within specified areas.
And I really like that Sixth, while new, is small, relatively speaking. And I heard it has nice dorms too?
Basically, I was wondering if any of you could provide any insight, either as continuing students or transfer students who were in my position. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
