<p>3 days 'til UCLA… :(</p>
<p>hm…</p>
<p>bored.</p>
<p>can’t sleep. sucks, no?</p>
<p>4days getting closer</p>
<p>lol, it’s so weird, so not excited for Cal.</p>
<p>i applied and everything, but b/c i got UCLA… i feel like, “Screw Cal!”</p>
<p>I think thats the perfect way to explain how I’m feeling, xleper!!</p>
<p>hahaha! awesome! i was wondering if anyone here felt like that. i plan on attending UCLA, so it doesn’t really matter if I get into Cal… just a point of pride, I guess.</p>
<p>xleper, cal is kind of the icing on the cake-right now i just want to hear from USC so i can make a decision between UCLA and USC (which is waaaaay more toward USC).</p>
<p>Ucb > Usc .</p>
<p>Ucb>ucla,usc…</p>
<p>UCLA>>>>>>>>UCB, at least that’s how I see it if I get rejected.</p>
<p>I think it depends on your major and what you’re looking to do. It’s not just reputation, but what the school offers. In my case, UCLA offers more for philosophy, the kind of philosophy I am interested in. Despite Cal’s overall fame, I would pass it up for UCLA’s specialization in logic and ethics/value theory.</p>
<p>UCLA > UCB > UCSD > USC > UCI > UCD… etc etc.</p>
<p>just in my humble opinion</p>
<p>if i get rejected to Cal im going to UCLA but overall UCLA is no match up with Cal…period.</p>
<p>ITT Tech>UCB>UCLA>USC</p>
<p>or if I get rejected from Cal</p>
<p>ITT Tech> UCLA>University of Phoenix> Cal State Dominguez Hills> Any Random Kindergarten> USC> UCB.</p>
<p>xleper17-if you look at philosophy ranking</p>
<p>NRC Rankings in Philosophy </p>
<p>1 Princeton 4.93
2 Pittsburgh 4.73
3 Harvard 4.69
4 Cal Berkeley 4.66
5 UCLA 4.42
6 Stanford 4.20
7 Michigan 4.15
8 Cornell 4.11
9 MIT 4.01
10 Arizona 3.99</p>
<p>Cal wins once again</p>
<p>ESL > Honors English</p>
<p>Torrancali those rankings are for graduate school, not undergrad. But since that is all we have to base undergrad off of, I guess it’s a decent indicator.</p>
<p>Fick waiting for UCLA im posting my 200th post now… Bump 200 for me…</p>
<p>UCB over LA all day …but still I wouldn’t go to UCB…</p>
<p>Torrance, she said UCLA offers more of the type of philosophy she is interested in.</p>
<p>Besides, look how close Berkeley and UCLA are on the grad school rankings you listed. Don’t turn into a snob over a subtle difference plz.</p>
<p>if you look at philosophical gourmet (google it, i don’t know the exact address) then you can see who is better. NYU is number one.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is for graduate school, but they suggest that you go for the undergrad that is known for what you like: ethical theory.</p>
<p>i’m not interested in rehashing old philosophies, I’ll learn about it, but not expand on it. I just want to find a practical application of ethics, which is what UCLA can offer (medical ethics is big there).</p>
<p>Who is NRC anyway? I trust this website more b/c it is compiled by actual professors of top universities.</p>
<p>U of Chicago is the same level as UCSD in philosophy, surprising? Well, yeah, but if you look at U of C’s course listing… it’s not that surprising. University of Pittsburgh beats both UCLA and Cal at philosophy. You gotta look at the department, not the school overall.</p>
<p>whoooooa i created a rankings riot.</p>
<p>honestly, i really am in love with USC-they offer more flexibility for me (french major with a musical theatre minor that i can apply my old music major credits to…at UCLA they are basically wasted credits), they are totally chill with all the work i do outside of school, and i can overlook the whole area around there because i live in the valley anyway so i just hang out over there. i also have more USC friends but right now both sides are coming with claws to try and pull me away from the other side…it’s kind of hilarious. but at the end of the day, if i don’t get into USC, then i’ll go to UCLA and pine for USC all the while…</p>
