I think that’s everything! Very cool that OP is a comm major too.
@ccstudent1517 yes, another comms major!! whats your number 1 choice?
@EasilyAmused25 I am still waiting to hear back from all my schools applied so a big congrats to you on UCI and UCSD! Do you have a top pick?
@doihaveashot2016 Whoo hoo! Comms majors for the win! Where are you hoping to end up?!
Top choice is UCLA, have always loved the campus and history there. I’m sure they’ll be the ones who take the longest to respond!
@californiannnnnnnnnnnn Ayye lol, we out here! My top 3 are: Cal ≥ UCLA > Davis. The problem with Cal and UCLA is that I applied to the soc major there, but I love comm. I only applied to soc because it was less competitive and you can do similar things with the degree, but yeah, I’d rather study comm. What schools are you hoping for?
@EasilyAmused25 UCLA will notify us on April 21.
Cal is my number one and if I go I will be doing Media Studies which I love and find fairly similar to comms, I just cant wait to hear back. My order is similar to yours UCB>UCLA>UCSD, but Cal is definitely my first choice
