<p>Hahahaha. So. I love the idea of UCLA. it has everything I want in a college and it's my absolute dream school. However, I'm basically convinced I won't get in (I'm paranoid haha), so I'm trying to find schools that are just like UCLA, but not as hard to get into.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
<p>College Search and Selection?</p>
<p>hmm uc riverside?</p>
<p>Similar by what measures?</p>
<p>USC. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Lol</p>
<p>10101010101010</p>
<p>alright i guess i'll repost this in the other section.</p>
<p>similar in the following ways: Proximity to large city, lots of clubs/activities to get involved in, large selection of majors to choose from, school spirit!! oh and the amazing great academics are a plus, too :P</p>
<p>i think berkeley is actually easier to get into since I know a bunch people who didn't get into UCLA but got into berkeley... santa barbara is a good choice too, maybe texas if you are not looking in state..</p>
<p>University of Arizona?</p>
<p>i know a lot of people here who didn't get into berkeley. i'd say the majority of my friends</p>
<p>USC, U Michigan (sorta)</p>
<p>Uchicago? BU?</p>
<p>michigan is just as hard to get into as UCLA, ucla might even be easier if you are in state</p>
<p>The University of Chicago has no school spirit. It's more like "Where Fun Comes to Die" and a sort of collective masochism towards academia. Amazing academics. Crap sports. No one cares about sports there. If you consider yourself an "intellect" - Chicago is for you! UCLA is more like well-rounded, go team go!, BRUINS FOR LIFE! kinda thing. </p>
<p>UCLA sounds more for you since you're in-state as opposed to U Michigan. </p>
<p>Large cities? Which ones?
Clubs/activities? Don't choose LACs! Medium-large universities will have their fair selection. The same goes with its number of majors. School spirit is linked to great sports... often the large state universities in XYZ conferences. </p>
<p>Great academics? Scan the front page of the USNWR and see if any of them fit the bill?</p>
<p>Pitt, BU, USC, UCSB</p>

That really depends on major.</p>
<p>Admission to both Cal and UCLA is based on the schools within the university, not really the major.</p>
<p>SMU? USC is nearly as difficult to get into as UCLA, isn't it? Second Santa Barbara and University of Arizona. Berkeley and UCLA are both gambles, admissions wise- one is not necessarily easier than the other. UT at Austin is supposed to be great and Austin is way cooler than Westwood. Is Eugene a big town? U of Oregon has some good school spirit and academics (but not as good as UCLA).</p>
<p>Eugene isn't that big.</p>
<p>I beg to differ about Austin, but that's a matter of taste. ;)</p>
<p>Eugene is supposed to be a great college town. Chapel Hill is as well. And that city UVa is in.</p>
