UC Davis – ranked #42 in Top National Universities

UOP – ranked #96 in Top National Universities

They are both excellent institutions. The above rankings should simply be a starting point for further investigation. You really should visit both schools and talk with the students and faculty members to get a true feel of what would be best for you.

BTW: Something like this is very hard to quantify, many people rely on the USN&WR rankings, but that doesn’t mean Davis will give you the better education. The rankings aren’t taylored to specific individuals, so like I said, YOU need to figure out what is best for YOU.

I pick UC Davis because it’s a well respected school while a few people may have heard of University of the Pacific outside of the bay area. It may be a great school or it may not but who really knows without researching into the school further? When you apply for jobs later on, the HR people will probably be wondering about the same thing. I know it’s not ideal but people are quick to judge you based on very little facts because often that’s all the time they have.

Probably UOP, just because it’s a private school.

UCD is better-known, but it’s considered “third rate” among national colleges.

UOP is not that well-known, but money buys status & prestige…what can I say?

It is all relative. What kind of career do you see yourself in? If it is pharmacy, it may be best to go to UOP. If it is medical school, try UCD.
