Hey guys!
So I SIR'd to UCLA on May 1st and just recently my appeal was approved to UCSB (I was on their waitlist).
UCLA
Pros: Perks/Fun things at Los Angeles , Prestige (I don't know what this entails but whatever), Research University
Cons: Traffic, Concrete Jungle (the city makes me a bit sad), Grade Deflation, No Priority Registration, Anxiety
UCSB
Pros: Research, Less of a Curve, Potential Honors (Priority Registration), Takes More of my APs
Cons: Less Prestige, More Isolated
I feel very anxious and scared that I won't do well at UCLA. The competition for grades and research just seems overwhelming to me and I just felt lost in the crowd. I'm scared I'll do really bad and get shitty grades. I'm more Grad School bound than Med School.
At UCSB, I feel really relaxed and I LOVE the ocean and the weather. I heard it's a bit easier to get research and grades will be a bit better to maintain.
I feel more comfortable at UCSB, but I feel so much pressure to go for UCLA... thoughts?
I want no regrets
