<p>I am having the same problem with picking between UCSD and UCB. I am a UCSD winter admit, but got into Berkely in the fall. I will tell you I honestly did not deserve to get into Berkeley, so the last few weeks since UCSD came out I have been getting my head wrapped around the fact that I would be going to UCSD. There are more people from my school that will most likely end up at UCSD that I am closer with and I would really like that part of it. I would like to be familiar with people that I can hang with until I get close enoguh to others and can branch out. The problem with it is that I got into UCSD in the winter so I'm not guaranteed housing and I don't start until January. With Cal, it's Cal for god's sake, I would be considered an idiot to turn down Cal after I messed around so much in HS, but I find myself not that excited about it and actually afraid of this new environment and how difficult I have heard it is. I just don't know. My parents are pressuring me to go to Cal after I got rejected from my first choice UCLA and didn't get in in the fall for San Diego. And then I miraculously got into Berkeley in the fall. I was actually rejected from Irvine, but accepted to Cal, I might be the first person this has ever happened to. I was honestly shocked after seeing the Acceptance. Now the decision is actually in my hands after it had basically been made for me after UCLA rejected me and UCSD accepted me for winter. I just need time to think about it</p>
<p>I think I'm going for Cal over UCLA (engineering).</p>
