USC, not only is it world-renowned, the connections you get through going there is well worth the extra buck

How about ASU?  You should be able to get into there.  You also might be able to get into USC - but it's very expensive.

UCLA is obviously more convenient, but Harvard is a MUCH better school (also obviously.) If the student is going to college, having gone to summer school at Harvard will look great all over the world! Really looks good on a application.\n\nGoing to summer school at UCLA only looks good in...L.A!

UCDavis, for sure. The problem with Cal Poly is that it's mainly a prestige school, much like UCBeezerkly (misspelling intentional). If you aren't into brown nosing and kissing butt, or have some notoriety, getting into CPoly can be difficult. Davis, on the other hand has a nice atmosphere, close to a lot of things, and the girls...

MIT without a doubt.  Yes, I'm biased because I'm an alum, but I have friends at Stanford and Cal Tech who wish they were at MIT.  We're more diverse than Cal Tech (not just by race & culture, but a diversity of thought).  Honestly, for tech schools, Stanford isn't even in the running.  MIT vs. Cal Tech, MIT wins every time, including our stellar business program.

For me, the question was answered by my major. (The choice was  Cal or UCLA, I chose Cal)\n\nIf you are Business, USC is a better choice; UCLA does not have an undergraduate business degree, plus the alumni network is stronger.\n\nHowever, overall UCLA is a better school.\n\nHere's a joke for you:\n\nQ: What do all the students at a USC/UCLA football game have in common?\nA: They all got into USC.

The University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business offers a marketing program. USC is a highly ranked private institution that has a highly respected reputation and excellent alumni network throughout the world.

I'd say Berkeley or UCSD, especially since both are in areas with a great deal of industry in the biotech sector.\n\nEdit: I think James gives UCSD waaaay too little credit.  Granted, not everyone agrees in ranking methodology, but the the following link by Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranks UCSD as the 13th highest university GLOBALLY, above Dartmouth, JH, UPenn, UCLA, and Michigan.  It's a public school, but it is a top-tier school that lags the others only in its age.

I attended Cal Poly SLO for undergrad and UCSB for grad school. I really enjoyed Cal Poly, no grad students to waste the professors time and I also liked the small town feel of San Luis Obispo. Because Cal Poly is focused solely on undergraduate education you will get much more individual attention. I don't know much about the other schools on your list though. Make sure to visit each one to really get a feel for the campus and the people. Good luck!

As the director of a very good graduate studies program, I can tell you that Berkeley's program has a better national (and international) reputation, although as the above person noted, UCLA's program also has some particular strengths which you might want to consider.\n\nBut all other things being equal, I would probably favor the candidate with the UC Berkeley degree over the candidate with the UCLA degree in graduate admissions.

I personally don't know but life the previous individual mention it is much harder to get to UCLA than to Riverside (but do your damnest to get to UCLA remember pursuit your dream).  Also, check California colleges and university that can help your criteria out.  Also, are you from California and if not then it may cost you more if you don't live in Cali (but you know that already).  Great website is Dogpile which is a megasite.  Hope this helps you out and aloha.

They seem to be pretty even in ranking, although neither one is ranked in the top 10 of chemical engineering schools.\n\nHere is a list of school rankings, it looks like UCLA is on more national lists, although USC and UCLA are tied on the electrical engineering list.  That is the only list USC is on.  UCLA is on the list for Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Geography, Classics, and Anthropology.\n\nIn this ranking, UCLA is #25 and USC is #30.\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/rhorii/Rankings.html\n\nSo it seems that UCLA is ranked higher, but not that much higher.  I would visit both universities and see which campus you like better.  If this is not possible, then talk to people who have attended either school and get their impressions.  Unless something about UCLA campus life is terribly wrong for you, I would choose that school.  Good luck with your studies!
