<p>@sunny I didn’t realize that you weren’t admitted into English at UCLA. Since it’s impacted, then there might be a chance that you won’t be able to switch. If the counselor said that it’s possible though, then I would believe her. If you feel that nervous about it, then I would go for Cal. Their English program is top notch as well. If your heart is set on LA though, then I’m sure you will make it happen. :)</p>
<p>@newchapter: thank you for input~~ (’: youre so nice haha! </p>
<p>:T yes I’m going to trust what the counselor (she sounded pretty convincing & when I asked her to confirm the switching-in-winter-quarter thing, she told me the same exact thing as when I met with her in person 
) says but it’s scary that my entire decision is pretty much based off of her words haha n_<em>n;;; but yeah not gonna SIR just yet… ><;; just in case… I suddenly change my mind o</em>o</p>

<p>Picked UCLA! When it came down to it, I realized that the only thing keeping me from SIRing was Cal’s prestige. The campus is beautiful and the student body is amazing, but I don’t think I can be happy with the surrounding area and weather - unfortunately, environment is a huge factor and is almost directly correlated to my motivation.</p>
<p>Also, I can specialize in computing under Communication Studies, which sounds great, as I was also waffling because Cal offered a Comp Sci minor and UCLA didn’t. At the same time, I’m going to try and pick up the accounting minor.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with either school. I’d love to hear others report back in as well! I hope you all feel the sigh of relief and contentment that I feel, having finally chosen.</p>
