<p>I know there are a bunch of these... but could you CC people plz offer some advice for my specific case?</p>
<p>Cal: Letters, Arts, and Sciences; probably major in something sciency/biology-y, but NOT premed (though classes would intersect, of course); pay $8,000/year; live 20 mins away.</p>
<p>UCLA: Letters, Arts, and Sciences; probably major in something sciency/biology-y, but NOT premed (though classes would intersect, of course); financial aid unknown but probably similar to cal's.</p>
<p>UCSD: Bioengineering (great program, I am very interested in this, but not 100% sure it's what I want to do), still not premed, pay $2500/year, Regents scholar (priority registration, honors program, can check out dvds from library), muir college</p>
<p>Cal's got the prestige and well-rounded education and probably smarter people/not 'socially dead', same with UCLA+not too close to home, and at SD I have the option of bioE, pay 70% less, get Regents perks, i.e. priority registration. </p>
<p>Also, after college, after working, traveling, etc. I'll probably go to grad school.</p>
<p>thanks for your help, i need it!</p>
