Help with Deciding between UCLA and Cal (Berkeley)

<p>UCLA or Cal?</p>

<p>I recently got accepted to the College of Letters and Science at Cal for Spring 2014, and I got into Business at UCLA. I need help deciding what college will be the best for me to attend, I am thinking on majoring in Computer Science and Engineering, with a minor in Business. Any recommendations?</p>

<p>GPA: 4.31
A lot of good extracurriculars, and community service
Taken 9 AP Classes total, 4 AP classes currently in my senior year, and I have passed all of my AP Tests.
Not really good sat scores, like in the range of 1680-1740, and for the act i got a 26</p>

<p>For Berkeley, I am thinking of going into the Fall Program for Freshman this fall, but do you have any more info about this program and why should/shouldnt enroll in it? What are the advantages and disadvantages? </p>

<p>So please let me know what institution I should choose and why, UCLA OR UC BERKELEY? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Also I received about the same financial aid for both colleges,
total cost/year= about 32,000
Aid Recived=23,000
Cost=9,000
So I am going to have to get loans or wait to hopefully receive some money from scholarships I applied to.</p>

<p>I am confused. UCLA does not have a business major. The closest they have is business economics, which is primarily accounting. Is that what you want to study? Note, too, that if it turns out you were accepted as “biz-econ” you actually were accepted as pre-biz-econ. You are not actually in the major yet. You need to complete the lower division requirements with a certain GPA in order to be considered for admission into the actual major. All the details are on the Econ dept website.

Your odds of doing so at UCLA are low. You were not accepted into the college of Engineering at UCLA. So you will need to change your major into Engineering while a UCLA student, which requires a 3.5 GPA to even be considered and a host of difficult classes. All the info is on their website. I would guess your odds are similarly low at Cal.</p>

<p>Alright, but do u know about the FPF program at Cal? Im thinking on enrolling in that…</p>

<p>They’re both high ranking and imo at that point it doesn’t matter. Think about where you want to live for the next for years. Also UCLA tends to be more social</p>
