<p>UCI’s biz admin major is pretty damn hard to get into, congrats.</p>
<p>as far as rankings are concerned, UCSD as a whole outranks UCI, but they do trade blows in certain majors.</p>
<p>I don’t know if merage will become the next haas, we shall see. All in all, I’d say going to UCI’s merage school of business is “risky” compared to going to UCSD, but you probably can’t go wrong either way. One thing to consider, econ majors tend to make more $$$$ than business administration majors. Just a heads up. I’m going to be doing Quantitative Economics at UCI(this is basically calculus and statistics with econ on the side) and hope to go to graduate school.</p>
<p>also remember that most people don’t go with their original choice of majors. I went from Economics to Business Finance to Economics to Quantitative Economics. All this changing(coupled with having to retake calculus2) basically cost me a year and half(and with the college application BS 2 years in total) of my life. I would make a list of 2 or 3 majors you’re kind of interested in and research them a bit before making a decision. If at all possible, try to make these majors have prerequisite courses which overlap a bit and knock out the overlap first(assuming you don’t ABSOLUTELY have to take one course for a major, example I have to take Math 3a and Math4 before I can take Econ105a). Having options is GOOD.</p>
