<p>mathwhiz, Fred u both have good points...if i can get a decent amount of Financial Aid (so that the tuition is comparable to UC's) then i might consider the Ivies...</p>
<p>What do you guys think about Columbia? I went there and I like it a lot. ( + NYC a big bonus)</p>
<p>edit:
@Fred im not sure but im pretty confident about UCLA...dunno if i wanna shell out another $60 for an "ultra safety" like UCSD</p>
