<p>Alright, I am having the most difficult time deciding where to go to college. I am a Caucasian girl from Oregon, and I have been accepted to both UC Berkeley and USC. I received a Presidential Scholarship from USC. At USC I was admitted as an English major, and at Cal, I am undecided in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. At USC, I really wanted to be in a freshman honors program called Thematic Option, which specifically focuses on the humanities, but unfortunately I was not accepted into the program. However, it is possible to appeal for admission into this program. I sent an email of appeal to the Thematic Option admissions officers last week, and they said they would let me know if I was in the program or not sometime after May 1st. That is incredibly inconvenient because by then I will have already had to commit to where I'm going to school.</p>
<p>School spirit is really important to me. I am interested in the humanities and politics, and after college I hope to go to Law School. I am planning to focus on my academics in college so I can be successful after I graduate, but I also want to have a great time and make lots of good friends. I'm definitely interested in the Greek system. </p>
<p>As far as location goes, I really enjoy both Northern and Southern California, but I prefer the Bay Area to LA. </p>
<p>My political views are pretty strongly liberal, but that is not really something that is a defining characteristic of my personality. I'm pretty open-minded and I get along with lots of different kinds of people. </p>
<p>Based on this information about me, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me make my decision!!! I'm having a really hard time..........thank you so much!</p>
