My top two schools are UCSB and Cal Poly SLO. I have been admitted to both for Biological Sciences. I am leaning toward Cal Poly, but the fact that I was accepted to the honors program at UCSB is making me wonder if it’d be stupid to pick Cal Poly. I like the Biology program at Cal Poly better because I can declare a concentration in Molecular and Cell Biology. I also like the smaller classes and Learn by Doing philosophy at Cal Poly. Any advice?
What is your gut telling you? Which felt more like home (I mean an ideal home-not your own home)?
It would not be stupid at all to choose Cal Poly. Go with your gut.
@bouders yeah I know it wouldn’t be stupid to go to Cal Poly, but is it stupid considering I got into the honors program at SB? Also considering that I’m a Bio Major would UCSB provide an advantage?
What your career plans with your Biology major?
@Gumbymom Either pharmacology or microbiologist
I agree with @lostaccount and go where you think you would be happier. Happy students are successful students and it seems to me that SLO is where you want to go based on your post.
