What's more important?

<p>I am choosing between WUSTL and UCB
WUSTL fits me much better
UCB still fits me but not nearly as well, but it is ranked much higher</p>

<p>This may be a stupid question....</p>

<p>but what's more important: academic prestige or personal fit</p>

<p>My major is biochem btw</p>

<p>Oh and the cost is about the same</p>

<p>I think personal fit is more important. You have a better chance of doing well where you have a good fit.</p>
