At the risk of sounding touting for my own Alma Mater, I cast a firm vote for OSU. Fisher’s brand, ranking, and employment stats trump those of UCI in almost every aspect. Neither of these two schools have strong national placement power, but Fisher at least enjoys some regional dominance, which is more than anyone can say for UCI. Just think of all the competition you’d be facing in CA should you choose to enroll at UCI: Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and all the other UC schools… Plus a big university environment can offer you many more opportunities in terms of networking and seeking friendship, etc…
