<p>Hi there!
I'm having trouble making this decision. So far I haven't loved any of the schools I've gotten into. I think I'm just going to end up going to the one I dislike the least.
I applied as a Chemistry major and was accepted to University of San Francisco, University of Oregon, Northeastern University, University of Colorado - Boulder, and ASU (though I'm not really considering that last one too much). I was also waitlisted at Santa Clara.
For Northeastern I was admitted into the N.U.in program, meaning I would spend my first semester abroad (In either England, Australia, Greece, or Costa Rica [though England and Australia are currently full and Costa Rica doesn't offer courses in Chemistry]) and start school at Northeastern in the Spring.
As of now I've visited Northeastern, University of Oregon, and Santa Clara (though they were on break when I visited). Of the three I liked Northeastern the most, but really, that's not saying much since I really didn't like Oregon (some people love it, it just wasn't for me) and (probably because they were on break) Santa Clara just seemed dead when I visited.
I really don't know which to choose. They're all going to end up being around the same price (I'm from California) so that doesn't factor into it too much. I was hoping I would just visit a college and love it and my decision would be made instantly, but clearly, that didn't happen.</p>
<p>Any help would be very greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>One parent suggests flipping a coin. Not because it will decide for you, but simply because as you see the coin flipping in the air, you will find yourself hoping for one particular result or another.</p>
<p>Finally, if you really aren’t happy with any of these options, could you consider taking a gap year and reapplying elsewhere? What about starting out at the CCC nearest to where you live, and then transfering into the UC or CSU system later?</p>
<p>Boston is a great place to go to college if you like being in the city. Spending your first semester abroad is kind of a cool way to start college, although you will miss out on meeting people on campus that first semester.</p>
<p>Why would anyone not love Boulder, CO??? And if you applied to it from out of state, there must have been something about it that you expected to love.</p>
<p>I applied to 7 UCs (all but UCLA and UC Merced) and wasn’t accepted into any of them. I applied to Cal Poly SLO and was also rejected from there.</p>
<p>I applied to Boulder because it’s a commonly used safety at my school.</p>
