[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:I guess I made a fairly convincing argument in my essays. [/li][/ul]General Comments: I got rejected from UCLA and UCSD, but I did get into UCSB and UCI, and I’m very grateful for that. All in all, I have no regrets and wouldn’t have done anything differently during high school. I’m not sure where I’m going just yet, but if this happens though, I’ll be the first one among my brothers and sisters to go to a UC instead of a CSU, so I’m hoping this all works out for the best.</p>
<p>i have to make a decision between UCSB and boston U
ucsb major film&media studies</p>
<p>whichi is better if i wanna learn film productions</p>
<p>and BU is art&science school</p>
<p>Ucsb is better…</p>
<p>Well, BU is going to be better for Film production, but I believe UCSB would offer you a better experience overall. I love Boston and my father is actually a BU alum, but over the years BU has turned into a very pretentious and restrictive university. If you want to really study film intensively, I’d suggest going to Bodton, but if you want to study film and have a great time, UCSB is your place.
P.S: I was accepted into the UCSB Film major as well!</p>

<p>The other schools I got accepted into gave me merit scholarships (including a 25k/year one from USD) but UCSB is still the most affordable.
