Scripps vs UC Davis

<p>I have recently been accepted to both of these amazing schools.
However, I'm having difficulty deciding between the two. Being a naive high school senior, I tend to be blinded by rankings and prestige. Scripps is much more expensive, but the benefits of going to a small LAC outweigh the cost (because I can afford it).
Any current Scrippsies or Aggies that can tell me the benefits of going to their school?
Thank you!!</p>

<p>(Also, I got waitlisted at Claremont Mckenna, do you think there is any chance of getting accepted off the wait list? I sent a letter to the admissions office claiming my interest for the college.)</p>
