<p>if we got into GU or not?</p>
<p>and also,
im torn..
if you guys got into UCLA, UC Berkeley, AND GU, what would u choose?</p>
<p>thats hypothetically speaking, of course..i dont find out about Cal till late march, i got into LA, and iunno about GU..?</p>
<p>they all have positives.
im thinking, Cal, LA, and lastly GU, because its so expensive n far from home, yet one step below Cal's academic prowess and only one step better than LA's education level, though 4 times more expensive.</p>
<p>depends...what's your intended major?</p>
<p>i applied to sfs</p>
<p>i wanted to do intl relations at gu, cuz LA and Berk dont have it, but ill manage to change to poli sci if i stay at a UC</p>
<p>so does anyone know when SFS sends admissions orrejections?
and can we check online?</p>
<p>i have a friend who already found out that she got into GU, regular decision.</p>
<p>Did your friend apply to nursing?</p>
<p>haha yes she did. apparently that is very easy to get into??? that was her reasoning.</p>
<p>i don't know when we find out, but i hope it's soon...though i'm not expecting much, i'm still really nervous and really dying to get in.</p>
<p>it should be before april 1st, right? does anyone know when letters came last year?</p>
<p>i think i'll go crazy!</p>
<p>oh wow, i did a search to answer my own questions...seems DC/area people found out on the 25th last year--aack!</p>
<p>i got in to la too! still waiting for cal of course
among these three i'd have to say:</p>
<h1>1- gu, fo sho</h1>
<h1>2-cal</h1>
<h1>3- la</h1>
<p>i live really close to cal, and i don't really want to stay at home
however, i doubt i'd get into cal or gu
but if i do- i'd really have to think aobut it b/c of gu's price</p>
<p>It's actually fairly common for people to choose between berkeley and gtown. They were my final to choices and i thought about it for a long time and now I could give you about a thousand reasons that I know I picked the right one. Both schools have a lot to offer, but you will have a really different experience at them. Academics are great at both(sfs is fabulous, but Cal is nothing to be ashamed about) so that probably isn't a huge factor. Even though Georgetown costs more, i'm so glad that I go to a private school and know my professors and don't have to deal with ridiculous administration. Ok, i could go on for so long about why gtown is awesome, but you should think about it yourself. Take to students at both places- from people I know I think gtown students are happier, but get their prospective. If you need more reasons to consider, I'd be happy to supply them.</p>
<p>We find out from Georgetown April 1st...</p>
<p>And for me, it would be between Berkeley and Georgetown... I know I'd pick Georgetown because I already know it's my dream school, but I think you should consider Berkeley (obviously, you are). Georgetown is an amazing school with all the resources of D.C. in the one of the best cities ever... but Berkeley does have incredible weather... haha not that weather should be the deciding factor, but it's definitely a consideration... Oh and also, Berkeley is significantly larger than Georgetown. I personally wouldn't want to go to an enormous state school, but you might feel differently. Okay, I'm just blabbing on now... but do consider Georgetown. Even though it's far from home, that could be a good thing. (I can't even tell you how much I begged my parents to let me apply to the University of Hawaii...) I think you'd really be able to grow a lot there, being far from home, in a new city... but you can do that anywhere. Okay, I'm done! GOOD LUCK! :)</p>
<p>I was accepted into the Gemstone program at the University of Maryland College Park which is a great opportunity for a premed student. However, I really like the atmosphere of GU and the surrounding area. The gemstone program will let me do all kinds of research and learn in smaller classes like you would at a private school, plus I would have a full ride.</p>
<p>I am so torn between Gu and Maryland right now that I don't have any idea what I will be doing if I do find out that I did get into Georgetown. Any advice?</p>
<p>hmmm free ride or almost 200,000 over four years? I would most definately go with the free ride... especially if it is a good program! obviously it is a personal choice and depends upon your financial need because georgetown doesnt offer any of that merit aid that we all love. but honestly, why pay so much money when you don't have too! college is what you make of it... it doesn't matter which one you go to really... you can learn as much or as little as you want, depending on how much effort you decide to put in! haha but thats just my personal opinion, and understandably there are many people who disagree and would choose georgetown over the full ride.</p>
<p>Berkeley's weather is not THAT good...it's rainy or foggy half the year.</p>
<p>As far as political science majors, I would compare curricula. A lot of my friends at the UC schools who are majoring in humanities are taking a lot of classes that I personally think are utterly useless (but have to be taken to fulfill the UC core). EVERY CLASS in the SFS is directed toward international studies, and understanding the world.</p>
<p>oops... well, I just figured California = perfect weather. And it was gorgeous when I visited the campus... </p>
<p>so yeah, in that case, I would definitely go with Georgetown. (but for me the cost is not really an issue so I wasn't taking that into account earlier... I think you should talk to your parents and decide based on that as well)</p>
<p>berk is not rainy or foggy half the year, i live here</p>
<p>I think you're confusing Berkeley with San Francisco, which IS very foggy throughout the year (then again it depends on where you are in SF as well). I live in the Bay Area and go to school in SF -- The weather is not typical California.</p>
<p>I would go to the east coast any day over staying in CA.</p>
<p>Anything north of LA (or possibly Santa Barbara) gets more rain then people characteristically associate with California....on average, the annual rainfall in the Bay Area is double what it is in San Diego.</p>
<p>I have a feeling the bulk of the decisions will be mailed out this Friday.
Last year they mailed it out on March 24th because the students in California and Alaska must also recieve their letters by APril 1st.</p>
<p>It's important to consider the inherent philosophy of berkeley and the UC system. My friend (who goes to Berkeley) and I were discussing last week how the UCs are all such huge schools, they don't nurture exploration, they encourage you to perform well in what you already are good at. Going into a UC, you have to know what you want, or you can get very lost.
I don't know about Georgetown, but it sounds like a more nurturing environment.</p>
