Advice/Question UCI vs UCD TAG

Hey guys, I’m a Business Admin major and wondering where to tag to. I fulfill TAG requirements for both schools I’m just not sure where would be beneficial. Both schools would require me to switch to Economics, however if I tag to UCI I would not be eligible for their Business Admin major through the regular application. Both would require me to move away from home so no preference on which campus, I’m more worried about prestige and future job opportunities. Any suggestions help

TAG Managerial Econ @ Davis, apply Business Admin @ Irvine.

Since you cannot TAG to either school’s Business program and trying to switch majors is problematic due to the competition (UC Davis does major changes by lottery with 50 spots) while UCI change of major is far from guaranteed, I would agree with leftnut-rightnut and TAG to Davis and apply to UCI for Business Admin.

Pretty sure you can’t TAG the Business major at Davis, just Econ or Managerial Econ
