<p>They have you take alot of classes with a specific concentration in mind within the BioE field. Plus biotech is huge here at UCSD. So if you want to go bioE go ucsd. But do not fool your self. If you are not great at physics then do not go into this field!!! It is still engineering and still functions around engineering core concepts.
I got into UCB and UCSD and chose UCSD because its the best for bioE, neuroscience, biomedical sciences, and medical research.
berkeley is great for engineering, computer science, chemistry, math, physics, and genomics (due to their computer science).
Im sure UCB will be competitive with UCSD within the next 10 years for bioE.
But do not go into a field for the MONEY!!! you will not be happy and its just not a good way to live. Do something that excites you and make you happy!</p>
