@ruggedcrocodile‌ I appreciate your findings and post . . my son is trying to make the same decision: UCD vs UCSD. He likes them both equally (a lot!) at this time. We were also at Triton Day on Saturday . . and I noticed how quiet it was immediately after it was over. It’s like you hardly knew there was just a big event there. We will be attending UC Davis on Friday (so we can see a “regular” day) as well as for picnic day on Saturday, where I’m looking forward to “Battle of the Bands”. It should be fun (at Picnic Day) and I hope it helps my son decide. Good luck to you in your decision too!

P.S. At Triton Day . . we heard prob. 3 or 4 times . . how severely impacted ALL the engineering majors are, and that only by “rare exception” would a student be able to switch INTO engineering. But that switching to other majors seems likely/doable. So if you truly want engineering (but didn’t get into it at UCSD) then I’d recommend looking into UCD, to see how easy it would be to get into engineering there. When we toured UCD on 3/31, I didn’t hear of any mention that engineering was impacted (vs. I repeatedly heard that at UCSD Triton Day).
