<p>UCSD ECON VS UIUC BUSINESS which one should I choose?
Here is the background story:
I applied to 12 schools and the weird thing is that I got tons of rejections from my “Match schools”( or so we thought)
I got all As in my chinese standard tests and 90/100 grades, but I guess that didn’t help. I got a 2280 in SAT, 3*800 for math physics and chemitry in SAT2 and 110/120 inTOFEL. I guess those figures are not too impressive, nowadays there are so many 2300+s up there. I did decent extracurriculars, but not like nationwide activities. The worst thing was that I focused too much on academic overall( epecially in the essays)
So,in the end I only have my safe schools and a waitlist of Washington U( Which I cannot actually count on). I am most interested in Finance and statistical analysis so it seems like UIUC should be my choice. Yet I kept thinking about transfering. My classmated said that it is easier to transfer from ucsd to ucla/ ucb ( which were my first choices).
Which choice do you think is better?</p>
<p>In California, it is easier to transfer from the community colleges into the various UCs than it is to transfer between UCs. Check their websites to learn more about the specific rules governing this.</p>
<p>You need to decide whether you would be happier staying at UIUC for four years or at UCSD for four years if the transfer process doesn’t work out for you.</p>
