<p>Ok, I think i am going to get into UCLA but I am sooo confused. I got into UCSB and I love that school, it's a perfect fit...except for the shallow party people. But I don't know which one to pick, UCLA will be very competative and I'm not that smart gifted student, I work hard for my grades and it does not come easy. Another thing, I want to have FUN, join clubs, sports, hang out on weekends not necessarily party and NOT study 24-7. But when it comes to getting a job...people will be like, "UCSB oh that party school lets hire the UCLA student" It seems like such an easy choice...LA- top school vs SB. But I feel like I will get bad grades at UCLA and study nonstop.
I had a 3.5 GPA in HS and a 3.6 at my CC.
So what are your thoughts....please help me!</p>

<p>oh and my major is Psychology</p>

<p>UCSB is a fine school.. my parents thought it was "just a party school" so they didn't allow me to apply but its definitely a top school...</p>

<p>a UCLA degree would look better but its definitely what you make out of it. Go wherever you want lol.</p>

<p>Me too. I have high 3.9ish gpa but I studied really hard for them. Too hard in fact (during my youth, I abused substances like there was no tomorrow). I 'm hoping not too many people at UCLA are naturally smart.</p>

<p>But I look at it this way. There's no guarantee that you will get a high gpa at UCSB. So suppose you get an average gpa. Then you might as well get an average gpa at UCLA rather than UCSB, right?</p>

<p>UCLA must be harder than SB though right? I finished my prereqs for SB too so now I just have to work on my major. At UCLA I still have to take some classes. And summer school. I don't even want to take summer school! Why does this have to be so stressful? I hate stress!</p>

<p>What have you learned in your psychology studies regarding stress? :)</p>
