<p>I sent in my deposit to Oxy. The quality of professor relationships won out to the draw of Boston as a city.</p>

<p>BC vs BU for pre-med studies? please help me decide !</p>
<p>Rice/UChicago/Harvey Mudd/USC vs NJIT</p>
<p>HMMMM.
Graduate with debt, or graduate with no debt while parents have to pay almost nothing.
Plus a whole slew of other advantages that may be misconstrued.
I think I’ll take the second option <em>grin</em></p>
<p>“Because engineers are practical dammit.”</p>
<p>“lucky2010–I am sending your post to my future engineer S who is trying to decide between Univ A with full ride and Univ B (paying quite a bit.) Maybe it will help him see the light!”</p>
<p>My DD apparently has that practical engineer gene as she chose the full ride at state U(SUNY Buffalo) over private/prestige (Cornell). I would have have been less practical myself,</p>
<p>Northwestern (journalism school) vs. Wellesley</p>
<p>That’s a killer, collegeahh! Two great but completely different choices! Good luck either way.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Great, Finsong! I’m really happy for you!</p>
<p>Brandeis Versus URochester for premed
FA is exactly the same</p>
<p>^Pretty different schools! I’ve heard Brandeis described as “summer camp with classes” (well, except for the weather )</p>
<p>Have to decide which environment/atmosphere/culture you want.</p>
<p>fingsong great decision</p>
<p>and besides, Southern California is really not that bad when compared to Boston…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>definitely BU!</p>
<p>Hello there!!</p>
<p>I am going to be a college student this fall, yay!
But there are more and more headaches to worry about. I got accepted into Boston University, Syracuse u, St. John’s, bunch of suny’s and Cuny’s. Unfortunately, due to financial reason, I just have to stick to the public colleges. So, I cannot decide where to go. I have to stick to something finance related field (at least for my undergraduate). So, Stony Brook or Hunter College?? oh, Also i forgot to mention that I am an international student who is graduating in the USA. I have lived here for 2 years and my family is going back to my country in less than a half-year. So, I’ll be alone here in the NYC. So, all the questions come out, housing, paying for college and being successful in my college. Please, give me some advise!!</p>
<p>What about Wheaton College (IL) vs. Johns Hopkins? Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I know a Julliard vs Community College. 34K vs full ride.</p>
<p>^I can’t imagine being undecided in that situation, personally…</p>
<p>BC vs UCLA vs NYU</p>
<p>I am graduating from a Los Angeles private school. While my gpa was strong, my SAT scores were lacking. My dream is to go to either UCLA or USC. My intuition says I should go to CC, fulfill my IGETC requirements and put myself in the position of applying to both USC and/or UCLA. When I speak to the college counsellor of my private school, she has nothing positive to say about this thought. She says that better thing to do is to go to Chapman or USF (where I was accepted), and I could transfer from there to UCLA or USC. She is concerned I will not have the “college experience” if I don’t attend a university. I’m worried I’ll miss out on a great education, thinking I may become “comfortable” at Chapman/USF and stay, instead of pushing myself toward a top tier school.</p>
<p>Can someone help me reason this out?</p>
<p>1) Go to Chapman, have college experience, and work on transferring? Does anyone know statistically how probably this is?</p>
<p>2) Go to CC and have faith that I will integrate into college world when I get to USC or UCLA?</p>
<p>3) Go to UC Riverside (which I was accepted into), and work on transferring?</p>
<p>Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.</p>
