HELP! UCLA or CMU

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hiii I got into both ucla and cmu and i can't decide.
I applied to major in econ but i might switch to psychology. I'm really interested in marketing but i wouldn't want to study that undergrad. The plan is to master in marketing, so that's why i'm thinking econ would be good, but i'm really interested in psychology... I also really want to work in the music industry, but more so the managerial/marketing area.... </p>

<p>I'm from the east coast, and i currently go to a really small school. i like to party but i'm really laid back and stuff. So with CMU i fear that (from what i heard) the social scene is terrible... but it's also really close to home
UCLA i know is a good school, but i worry that the social scene is too much and that it'll be filled with people who are really materialistic and typical "hollywood" rich kid kind of thing. is this true?
i still have to hear back from usc... any thoughts on that?</p>

<p>If you think about the Hollywood “rich kid” stereotype, you’ll realize most people who fit that stereotype don’t have the work ethic to wind up at UCLA. I wouldn’t worry too much about an overwhelmingly materialistic social scene. The difference in size might be an adjustment but people manage it all the time.</p>

<p>Congratulations on your acceptances.</p>
