UCSD has consistently received the 2nd most applications (close to 50,000) for any premier U.S. higher education institution (second only to UCLA). US News considers it among "the top tier of the UC system" along side UC Berkeley and UCLA. It's 30th placement in US News' highly regarded "Top 50 National Universities" is extremelely unique because UCSD is the youngest insitution among the group.

UCSD
University of California, San Diego. A top-tier public institution in La Jolla, California. Academic strengths include the sciences, engineering, economics, and political science. Second in the UC system only to UC Berkeley. Wastes no money on bloated sports system unlike UCLA.

UCSD
UCSD is the only school besides Berkeley, UCLA, and UCI where the hard-working middle-class asian is the majority. As a result, UCSD has a large mass of workahalics who lack adequate americanized social skills despite knowing how to ace a test. But, the university still boasts the best weather and location in the country, and has 20,000 undergrads to select one's group of friends from. In response, it may not be party central, but if you go to UCSD and don't have fun or find someone attractive... it is likely becuase you are one of the individuals giving the university a bad name by being antisocial and looking like a nerd.. UCSD is what you make it. Overall, it's cheap, a good college experience for those who actually try to make it one, a place that students actually want to get a degree from. And, if you just want to party all of the time and work ar Burger King once you graduate, SDSU is right down the street.

UCSD
Good school in beautiful La Jolla. Doing well at UCSD is easy because La Jolla is NOT a party town. People who think they are smart, Asians, and prematurely balding men are found in abundance at UCSD. There is a serious shortage of naturally beautiful girls, and even less guys with game. Students looking to have fun turn to liquor,ganja, or other drugs, which are generally easy to come by. Looking to get laid- Mexico is only a short drive away. Whatever UCSD lacks in the social scene they attempt to make up in free concert points; where three times a year popular music artists preform at Rimac. Downside to this is that most UCSD students don't know what the hell to do at a concert.
Like most things, UCSD is what you make of it. If you put in a little more effort and have access to a car, you can have fun and get a great education at the same time.

" At UCSD I partied my ass off and still graduated in four years."
"I thought everyone at UCSD were pansy-ass nerds from suburbia, but I met some chill people smoking out on the cliffs."
"I saw my professor naked on the far side of Blacks Beach."

Honest truth about UCSD, from a UCSD alumni:
UCSD Pros: One block from the ocean and great surf. La Jolla location (nicest part of SD). Close to Mexico. Just as good as Berkeley or UCLA in terms of academics. Easy-going feel to campus. Very good career prospects for those in the sciences. Sends more people to graduate school than any other school in the country. SUNGOD. At SunGod you will have more fun in a single day than you will have in an entire year at Berkeley or UCLA.
UCSD Cons: Lack of name recognition. On the East Coast people get us confused with the special education kids at SDSU or USD. Generally unattractive student body, but it's the same way at UCLA or Berkeley. All three are full of overachieving nerds. No D-1 sports program. No frat row, although 10% at UCSD are Greek. Quiet campus on weekends, because everyone goes to Pacific Beach, Mexico or house parties.
Overall Rating: A-. All UCSD needs is a D-1 sports program, and they're working on it. If you get involved in Greek life, sports or surf club at UCSD, it will be as much, or more, fun as any UC campus.

Whale
In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
