<p>Say both colleges cost the same amount,
and you could see yourself living/be happy at either,</p>
<p>which would you choose for pre-med?
what are pros/cons of each..</p>
<p>btw ive visited both</p>
<p>Oxy because you’ll have less competition against your classmates.
There are a lot of premed students at UCLA, and because of this you’ll be competing for grades. A lot of medical school acceptance has to do with your gpa. I think you’ll have an easier time getting a higher gpa at UCLA. if you weren’t going for being a premed, i’d say ucla for the simple fact that they have more classes to pick from, and more resources. If you’re only doing undergrad(and not going to grad school/med school) UCLA’s network/resources will be beneficial in your future.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>liek, you are contradicting yourself in your post…</p>
<p>Occidental College has much smaller class sizes and closer relationships with the professors without giving up much in academic quality…</p>
<p>I’m just a bit torn right now, becAuse at this point, UCLA is 20,000$ a year cheaper, And I have 40 trans. Units from CC , my AP scores too. I’m talking with oxy financial aide right now, and I’m wondering if it’s worth it, I know UCLA will be competati ve. Ucla seems like the logical choice. I’m just making sure I didn’t miss anything at oxy that is worth 20k/year. Lol</p>
<p>UCLA please, it’s a no brainer i promise you-ive got friends at both places and UCLA’s med/premed program is more known.</p>
<p>At 20,000$/year cheaper, yeah its a no brainer,</p>
<p>we’ll see what Oxy’s financial aide dept comes back with as a 2nd offer…</p>
<p>twister, the $20,000/yr, $80,000 for 4 years should be the clincher in this case…</p>
<p>Yes it is. Oxy said they’re going to come back with another refined aide package by the 24th, they’re already giving me 10 a year, to match UCLA they’d have to give me 30 a year, so I’m hypothetically thinking if somehow they came back with a price around ucla what I would do</p>
