berk is much more prestigious, in my opinion, so the students that attend are at least somewhat brighter. A cal degree has a much better national and international reputation. UCLA also seems like it takes a lot more CC transfers (i'm not sure if the numbers actually support this), which detracts from the quality of the student body.
UCLA is not nearly as fun as you'd expect. It's better than many of the UC's, but many students commute or go home on the weekends and the campus dies. Yeah, it's in LA, but not a particularly cool part of LA.
Davis does have a lot of good programs, but it's location and QOL for students is shit.

I'm thinking I'll do a masters first as insurance for the PhD; for masters I'm looking at texas, some UC's, florida, kansas, and a few others that guarantee funding even to masters students
PhD apps will be chicago, harvard, yale, princeton, berkeley, washington, texas, michigan, arizona, stanford, maybe ucdavis
didn't apply last year; my interests weren't solidified yet and I felt like I needed some more experience (which I got this year)

definitive proof that Berkeley is a 100% peer school to Stanford:
http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/phd/
"An important thing to remember when forming your reading committee: All faculty in the EECS department at the University of California at Berkeley are preapproved to be in your reading committee. If you have a relationship to Berkeley faculty, you're welcome to ask them to be in your committees."
oh u mad pumos

Just my opinion, but I'd go to:
1) Berekely
2) UCLA
3) UCSD
4) UCSB
5) UCSC
6) UC-Irvine
7) UC-Davis
FWIW, I'd go to SFSU and SDSU over UC-Davis.

another example of why IRL experience is > than hypothesizing.
SFSU is shit, pure shit. aside from being a crap school with a shit community and campus, the administration is horrid. it'd be pretty miraculous for you to graduate on time at SFSU nowadays because of their class registration and availability shitstorm. many of my friends couldn't graduate simply because they weren't able to register for basic classes and prereqs.
SDSU is a more plausible choice b/c of the hot ass bitches and great location. i also haven't heard of the administration problems that are rampant at SFSU. however, you're still pretty dumb to choose either over UCD. LOL @ people 1.5 hours from SF a dealbreaker.
also, if you can get a 4.0 at a TTT UG, you can prob get at least a 3.6 at UCD. hard to say b/c UCs practice true grade deflation.

the UCs vary so greatly within each school by department that a general exercise of ranking is useless.
in terms of quality of female student body, though:
SB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LA>>>>>>>>>>SD>>>>>Davis>>>>>>I/SC (depends on AG/unshaven hippie preference)> others

cal is good with ug, grad school is better, faculty is very prestigious. If you cultivate the right people its much better than ucla.
city is one big mountain, it also smells like urine, too many homeless, impossible to own a car/bad traffic, dangerous to bike (also #1 in pedestrian accidents)you live right next to oakland, apartments mostly old and insanely expensive
smalltown feel, relatively decent public transit (getting worse bc of budget cuts), can take BART to any place in bay area (ie bars in SF)
I personally hate the QOL here and should have gone to ucla

+1 for academics and students.
For QOL I'd edit
UCLA=UCSD>UCSB=Cal>Irvine>Santa Cruz>Davis>Riverside>Merced

I guess. It really depends on each person, maybe. I think:
UCLA=UCSB>UCSD=Cal=Davis>Santa Cruz=Irvine>>>>>Riverside
I heard Irvine was a commuter school full of all of the Asians in the town. I'm not sure what it really has going for it.

Berkeley and Santa Barbara are the only two credited UCs.
Berkeley > SB > LA, SD > SC > *
