Also, btw, you should try and check with the UCSB econ department, the placements of 2007, 2008, and maybe even this year. This will also give you a better picture of their placements. In terms of academic placements, 2005 was a pretty decent year for UCSB, while 2006 was not good at all. So a few more years of placements can give you a decent picture. I am a bit surprised that they do not have placements listed after 2006. Some have already listed the 2009 ones.
