<p>I’m also going to UCSD next fall for Economics. UCSD is a solid school and has a solid Economics program, both undergraduate and graduate. UCSD has an Econometrics program that is ranked 6th, tied with Berkeley. Overall, I don’t think an employer would choose someone from UCLA over someone from UCSD solely on the name of the school. This is where you have to go out of your way and do internships.</p>
