<p>I'm having a bit of a problem with trying to choose a college...I was recently accepted to UCSB, UCSD, UCI, and NYU LSP...however, NYU is far too expensive (70K), and I haven't received any aid. I could possibly take loans, but that could prove to be risky in the long run. Furthermore, my parents don't want to send me to UCSB because it is a "party school." The UCI campus was nice, but it is rated lower than UCSD and NYU. I liked UCSD; however, I have so many concerns!</p>
<p>First off, I didn't receive my first-choice major (bio) at UCSD because it is 'impacted' (I did receive my major at UCI and UCSB). However, this is not too big of a problem, as I am also interested in Cognitive Science/Neuroscience, along with a lot of other subjects. (side note: Apparently, we can apply for a Bio major after fulfilling major requirements...in any event, would minoring in Bio prove to be difficult?)</p>
<p>Second, if I decide to do pre-med (definite possibility), I don't want to have to be on wait-lists to get into pre-med requirement classes...I feel like people who have majors under Biological Sciences would have a better chance at getting pre-med classes. </p>
<p>Lastly, it may not sound like a big deal, but I really love ERC (I was accepted here), and I submitted my housing application kind of late..as in last night. I am a little worried that I won't be able to live in ERC, as the housing website for UCSD said that they put overflow students in Revelle. I REALLY want to avoid living in Revelle, as I absolutely loved ERC. And of course, who wants to live in Revelle and fulfill ERC GE requirements?! What are the chances that I could be put in Revelle (as in, how often has this happened?) And if that did happen, would there be any way for me to switch to ERC?</p>
<p>Phew, that was a long post! Honestly, any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks so much!</p>
