<p>Hi!
I am an incoming freshman and I am choosing between UCLA, UOP, and Purdue.
UOP and Purdue I got in for their 6 years Pharmacy Program, which includes about 3 years of undergraduate Pre-pharmacy studies and automatically 3 years of Pharmacy studies as a graduate student at the school. So, I am basically guaranteed graduate school and a degree if I maintain my gpa. UCLA I got in as an UNDECIDED-PHYSICAL SCIENCE, later planning to major in chemistry.<br>
This is a very difficult decision because each school has its positives and negatives and I just wish they were all mashed together.
To me, UOP is a very small school and because I attended a very small high school, I wanted to attend a big school to get the full college experience and meet more people. Purdue is in Indiana. I honestly do not want to go to Indiana, it is cold, Purdue is a public school and I will have to pay more because I am not an Indiana resident. However, the school is very big. UCLA has such a great environment and very close to home which makes me feel secure. However, I am not guaranteed graduate school and a degree, which also contributes to not reaching my goal of becoming a pharmacist.
So, I was planning to go to UCLA and transfer to USC's pharmacy program, which guarantees me a graduate school. However, everyone is saying that if I go to UCLA, then it is going to be really hard and my gpa will be low to transfer.
I am the type of person to study if I need to study, but I am not naturallly intelligent, maybe up to some degree. So, I am a bit scared to go to UCLA because if i make one mistake then my plan to transfer to USC is destroyed. Also, to get a teachers recommendation from UCLA is very hard because of the great amount of students</p>
<p>I AM IN A BIG DILEMMA AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU!</p>
