<p>If you got accepted to all three and they all offered the same amount of money (financial aid/scholarships) which would you pick?</p>
<p>I know it may seem obvious for some but I've actually read a lot of posts on here that surprised me about this.</p>
<p>List the order you'd go in choice-wise and why</p>
<p>Happy Holidays!!!</p>
<p>Depends on major.</p>
<p>UCLA, because of location. It may be ~9.1 miles away from my house, but the community college I attend is slightly farther and I don’t mind commuting for an hour to and from there.</p>
<p>Although if I were offered a lot more money or a complete full ride at UC Berkeley, I’d be very tempted to SIR there, but lord knows that probably won’t happen.</p>
<p>Also, although UC Berkeley generally outperforms UCLA to a slight degree in the prestige of most majors, my major is a notable exception; UCLA outranks UC Berkeley for philosophy and specializes in areas of philosophy that I’d love to study there.</p>
<p>lol, my posts in this forum make me look like I’m somewhat fixated with getting into UCLA like those SoCal high school students with the high GPAs and SAT scores who don’t want to go to Berkeley now that I think about it, lol</p>
<p>And Happy Holidays to you too, Matt.</p>
<p>When faced with decisions like this, I ask myself, what would Jesus do?</p>
<p>Forgot to list the order of schools I’d most like to attend to least:</p>
<p>UCLA</p>
<p>UCB</p>
<p>UCSD</p>
<p>UCSB</p>
<p>@stanx89</p>
<p>Obviously, Jesus would go to UCLA with me and we’d study philosophy together and talk about life and some other ****. :P</p>
<p>hard question but in terms of my major and what I want to do as well as programs offered for me and future goal I would say Berkeley, it is my number one choice. If I for some reason don’t get in (even though I’m in the TAP program) I would just go to Davis if I don’t get into UCLA (where I’m TAP certified).
UCB
UCLA
UCD
UCSD</p>
<p>I was admitted to UCB, UCLA, UCSB, and UCSD for fall 2012. Of course my choice was between UCB and UCLA and in the end I decided on UCLA. My major is political science and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I have a friend who went to UCB because of the name, but she is wildly unhappy with the school itself. </p>
<p>My preference…
UCLA
UCB
UCSD
UCSB</p>
<p>Yeah, UCB does have not too good of a reputation, I mean they did come up with Eugenics, just saying.</p>
<p>ucla even though Cal’s civil engineering program is ranked #1 in the world.</p>
<p>Under no circumstances would I ever pass up Berkeley. </p>
<p>NorCal >>> SoCal
Semester > Quarter system
UCB >>>> UCLA</p>
<p>UCLA and UCSD are about the same to me. I like UCLA’s campus more but SD as a whole is way more awesome compared to LA. </p>
<p>Can’t stand SB.</p>
<p>@Snorlaz</p>
<p>But the girls at Berkeley are not known for being…attractive.</p>
<p>Ever heard of the term “Berkeley Goggles”?</p>
<p>I’ve already got a SO though so that doesn’t really matter to me haha. We’re only there for two years man!</p>
<p>Touche, Snorlaz</p>
<p>Well, looks like I can’t persuade to you to go to the objectively better institution in Los Angeles. :(</p>
<p>I agree with Snorlaz!</p>
<p>There is no way I would pass up Berkeley. It’s always going to be the top UC to me. </p>
<ol>
<li>Cal </li>
<li>UC San Diego/ UCLA (can’t decide; both of them are very good in academics.) I think LA has a better area though.</li>
</ol>
<p>UC Santa Barbara is not on my list.</p>
<p>for cs: ucb > ucla > ucsd > ucsb </p>
<p>being around so many gd hippies would be a small price to pay</p>
<p>jesus would go to pepperdine</p>
<p>Jesus wouldn’t attend a mediocre school. ;)</p>
<p>^ that’s what those stanford/claremont/ivy kids say about the UCs</p>
<p>Before I moved here, I had no idea what Claremont was. It’s regiona,l no power else where in the nation.</p>
<p>@bomerr</p>
<p>fair enough, lol</p>
