UCLA v. Cornell

<p>Well, as the title suggests, I was accepted to UCLA and Cornell. I plan to major in Political Science/Pre-Law. I'm from southern California but I'm so confused on where to attend. I've been wanting to go to UCLA since I was 7 and it's so close to home, which is good. They are very popular and they have a lot of school pride. The only downside is that it's a huge university and with that, I might not be able to get the classes I want. Cornell is an Ivy, which is great but it's so far away and I'm not used to Ithaca, NY weather. Hmm... advice anyone?</p>

<p>So you want to go to law school? you know that pre law isnt required right? idk im black so i probably wouldnt go to UCLA since its suppose to be racist, but those are 2 good good schools, if i were you i would go to UCLA since it was the school you have wanted to go 2</p>

<p>well, I’m African-American as well. I’ve grown up in the Los Angeles area, but I’m not going to rule out good schools because of a few idiots. lol</p>

<p>o thats cool, im from texas and i would have really liked to go to a school in Cali, i would go to UCLA i dont really care much for IVY league schools</p>

<p>Getting classes is only a big problem your first year or so or with classes that are the most popular. Even then, you can usually get into at least 2 classes that you really want. From there, you have to know the various requirements so that you can pick out a useful 3rd/4th class. That part is really only an issue for people without a defined plan who don’t know what requirements they should follow. Also, if you’re from LA it shouldn’t be that difficult to spend a summer taking classes that are hard to get into or whatever.</p>

<p>If you’ve wanted to go to UCLA since you were 7, you should go to UCLA.</p>

<p>Yeah, it sounds like youve had your mind made up. They are very different atmospheres, and if it’s really difficult to decide, try to visit.</p>

<p>I second ThisCouldBeHeavn’s statement: If you’ve wanted to go to UCLA since you were 7, you should go to UCLA. It’s a great school, and if you love it, then go for it!</p>

<p>well, did u want to go cuz u relli loved the school…(which i doubt you’d b able to know when u were 7), or was it because it was the nearest large “good” school you knew?
I would research again, and tell us specifically what you’re looking for in a school.</p>
