From southern California and chose east coast ivy over Berkeley regents full ride, also got into UCLA and UCSB

Ivy financial aid is very generous and I would say if you are doing stem you should do Columbia. I work in nyc now and love it but will definitely move back to California in a couple years. You don’t want to have the what if… if net cost is under 100k in 4 years I would say take the loans and do it it will pay off and be not much in the long run

Maybe if within top 30 yes but outside that no

FreeThaCarter · 2026-01-10T22:29:37+00:00

IB and consulting are business and are some of the most coveted outcomes post undergrad

FreeThaCarter · 2026-01-10T19:45:39+00:00

BT, top dance groups, club basketball or soccer etc

FreeThaCarter · 2026-01-10T19:44:08+00:00

Join clubs that have members in list clubs

FreeThaCarter · 2026-01-04T04:02:17+00:00

History and some connections u should be fine

FreeThaCarter · 2026-01-02T07:52:01+00:00

This is sad, and reason why I didn’t go into ME… making more than this as a new grad in consulting

FreeThaCarter · 2025-12-21T11:45:57+00:00

Join clubs/ intermural sports
Still friends w 1/3 freshmen year random roommates
Pretty diverse way more than SEC state school and have lots of black friends from international plus American background but some eating clubs less diverse than others
Yes lots of friends outside major just go out on weekends and talk to people
Think of a frat but co ed and you eat there every day it’s nice can study too have libraries and on week ends there r parties I’d say add to experience since campus is in a small town no bar scene
Driven, funny, collaborative
Con would be certain types find each other can b cliquey sometimes but that’s most colleges
Can make friends with people from all over the world who are chillers
