<p>Hi! I'm really excited to be accepted into NYU and UCLA!! I've been granted admission in CAS(Politics) in NYU and in College of Letters and Science(Undeclared-Social Sciences) in UCLA. Now i'm in a dilemma over where to go. I want to do economics(maybe minor in politics also? Is that possible?). Now i've been more inclined to NYU because of the better recruitment opportunities as it is one of the biggest financial cities. However, i see a lot of potential in UCLA to become a better university in the coming future(may become as good as UCB?). Hence, its brand value increases. </p>
<p>So i ask you, to list out pros and cons of each university and help me out with coming to a final decision. Few things that I want to consider about each university:</p>
<ol>
<li>Academics</li>
<li>Brand value</li>
<li>Internships/Job opportunities while in university</li>
<li>Activities/Organizations in the university ( I would love to do a lot of social work)</li>
<li>Study abroad</li>
<li>College life(Partying, greek life)</li>
<li>Unique features of the university</li>
</ol>
<p>Moreover, i'm an international student from India without any financial aid. I'm planning to stay in USA for few years after i finish college to get some work experience. </p>
<p>Also, on a side note, is it possible to get transfer to HYP(or any ivy/top schools) next year? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
