<p>Hey all, right now I’m in a phase of choosing some schools, locales, etc where I wanna go, my GPA at the end of this year (junior) should be around a 3.8 UW/4.1ish+ weighted. I think if I pushed on ECs and stuff I could probably get into lower ivies and stuff, but I’m really not looking there.</p>
<p>Anyway I’m looking into schools in Florida and California. I’m a social guy and all so I’m looking for a fun but well balanced cool.</p>
<p>Anyway my schools that I’m looking at now are:</p>
<p>University of Miami
University of Florida
Florida State university
San Diego State University
University of Cali. Santa Barbara
Uni of cali. Santa cruz</p>
<p>So please my question is three fold:</p>
<li>Out of these, which have good psych programs.</li>
<li>Could I get a list of the best psych programs in the nation, just inc ase I chagne mind on states.</li>
<li>What other schools in cali/florida also have good psych programs I didn’t list.</li>
</ol>
