[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to take the other side as a number of PPs. If DC wants to go to a strong research university (that is, a university with highly ranked graduate study programs) it is really hard to beat the UC system.

In addition to Cal and UCLA, UCSD and UCI are very strong in life sciences, math, CS. I would rank almost all programs from there above the same programs from UIUC, UMich, and UVa. (CS at UIUC an exception to that).[/quote]
Nobody's saying the UC options are bad for grad school. Everybody (from CA) is saying they make sense for OOS undergrad only in the rarest of circumstances.[/quote]
PP here. You misread my post.

There is a group of students who have specific professional ambitions, usually related to competitive jobs in Big Tech, finance, or consulting, or graduate study in quantitative fields or medicine, for whom exposure to graduate level coursework in their major is a critical boost.

Because UsNwR type lists do not break down educational quality and reputation by department, the best proxy is to look at professional society rank in field of interest.[/quote]
You're just trying to oppositional while offering nothing of value. Go, ahead, send your kid to Irvine with hopes the finance or consulting gig at the end will make the OOS tuition worth it. Good luck with that.[/quote]
