<p>I already accepted Cal Poly SLO for psychology, however I just heard back from the waitlist that I am accepted to both UCSB and UCI for sociology. Which school is better for my major?
I am leaning towards a UC because I would like to go to medical school after.</p>

<p>Pros of CP:
love the school/campus, farmers market, people, class size, etc... Cons of CP: a CSU- harder to get into med school</p>

<p>Pros of SB:
cousin/best friend is going there next year as a freshman too- we would look out for each other and help each other (plus share clothes), plus a UC will help me get into a college better... Cons of SB: big class sizes, wont be able to get to know my professors intimately.. </p>

<p>Pros of I:
I dont know?... Cons: lack of diversity, big class sizes, a "commuter" school</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think... money is not at all an issue, and I am within 2/3/4 hours of driving distance from them all.</p>

<p>If you want to a grad school honestly, undergrad prestige doesn’t really matter as much unless you went to an Ivy League school.
Looking at your pro/con list, I’m pretty sure UCI isn’t the school for you since you don’t seem to have a lot of pro’s on it. I think either UCSB or Cal Poly would be a good school for you. I would say to go to UCSB</p>
