ucla or michigan-ann arbor or usc?

<p>i've been accepted to nyu, ucla, usc and university of michigan ann arbor class of 2016 as a biochemistry major.</p>

<p>I really don't know where i should go </p>

<p>Ucla used to be my top choice along with uc berkeley when i applied last year.</p>

<p>Things that are important to me are...
internship opportunities
Maintaining high gpa
Undergrad research
Academic diversity (i want to recieve good liberal arts education)
Urban life
Possibility of transferring to a smaller school (columbia or johnshopkins)
Possibility of going to ucla medical school
Possibility of switching my major to international relations or diplomacy</p>

<p>i have no worries regarding costs and locations.</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP ME with good advices. CURRENT STUDENTS at those colleges, Please help me decide</p>

<p>I would say you should go to uclaoruscornyu.</p>

<p>^ Haha you beat me to it rjk.</p>

<p>But don’t come to Michigan.

  1. A high GPA is your responsibility, not the school’s.
  2. Ann Arbor isn’t a skyscraper city.
  3. You want to transfer.
  4. Michigan doesn’t have an “International Relations” major.</p>

<p>If you are interested in International Relations, Michigan does have the Ford School… where you can get a degree in International Policy. Not the same, but then again your interests seem very vague (biochemistry, IR, and diplomacy?). So it’s worth a shot! You never know what you’ll like.</p>

<p>I think UCLA is a better option given the OP’s interests.</p>

<p>What do you mean by urban life? Do you want a big city? Ann Arbor is not a big city but it is a lovely vibrant city. And because it is affordable and manageable in size you can get around more easily to experience more art and culture than you can likely handle. It’s a calmer life than you’ll get in NY or LA, which I think is a good thing for most students. The school work alone is high pressure so you don’t need the city pressure on top of that; although I can see how some people would crave the big city life.</p>
