<p>UCLA - REALLY REALLY tough decision. Actually, I'm still not sure if I made the right choice or not. i think i chose Cal for more practical reasons (academics, prestige), but I still feel the UCLA campus is more uplifting. I'm also undecided on my major and I figured Cal was a better choice since they're pretty much top ranked in all areas. I also felt more connected with the people at Cal, and I just liked the nor cal attitude.</p>
<p>Others:
Northwestern
Wellesley
USC - $20K
UCSD, UCI, UCD
University of Rochester</p>
<p>If the campus feels right to you, then you made the right decision.</p>
<p>Well just don't look at your decision as a sacrifice. If you keep looking back, then you will always regret =/</p>
<p>NYU - tough decision for me but if I can get into Haas, then nothing is lost
University of Michigan - another backup for me, and too expensive
UCI - close to my house, and not as good as Cal
UCSB - safety
USC - not nearly as good as Cal and too expensive for the education</p>
<p>UCI- honors
UCLA- honors
UCD
UCSD
all majors were biochem..or chem or bio or something of that sort</p>
<p>I was torn between UCSD and UCB, but I coudlnthandle leaving norcal and Cal just has a better name period.</p>
<p>Reed
Carleton
Colby
Hamilton</p>
<p>Really easy decision once I found out I was accepted to Cal. I cried, screamed, and ran around the house like a crazy person! </p>
<p>When I went my junior year for Cal orientation, the info lady told me that basically I wouldn't get in because I was from Maryland. I cried then too, but for different reasons...</p>
<p>Haha oh well, it all worked out! My first choice school, here I come!!!!</p>
<p>Congrats. I mean it.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks:)</p>
<p>*Not really sure if I'm being secretly mocked, but hey, I'll run with it</p>
<p>No I am not mocking you. I know I bash Berkeley a lot, but it's obviously your first choice and it's not like Berkeley is a bad school. I only think that people overhype Berkeley a lot and that's why I try to offer some balance to the discussion.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you still don't believe I'm sincere, let's look at it this way. You proved an incompetent Berkeley info lady wrong. Rock on!</p>
