Quick update. I have actually gotten offered a software engineering internship position near my current residence. According to the hiring/intern manager, based off of my performance I may be invited to work part time during the school year. I am the only intern hire so it seems that I will have no competition. Realistically, accepting this offer would mean that I would go to UCI; UCSD would be off the table as it would be a 1.5-2 hour commute from the school to my work place. At least, that is my line of thinking. I would appreciate additional input regarding this. Keep in mind that one of the main reasons I was strongly considering UCSD was the internship/career opportunities that it could open.
