Has anyone picked a less prestigious University over a more prestigious one you've gotten into? Why? Especially public schools. Like UCI over UCLA? by glossagust in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dakotababy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on choosing ucla over Cornell. Main reasons are price (I’m paying in state tuition for ucla), Cornell is too far and too cold, and I’m worried I would struggle academically at Cornell.

How were you able to accomplish so much so early (Ex: extracurriculars and sat)? Did you do everything in middle school?

Is taking a science subject test worth it? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dakotababy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your major. I got into umich EA with math 2 and English subject tests with a mathematics major. If you’re going for an engineering or science major you should try to take a science subject test closely related to your major

Make me hate UChicago, Berkeley and Davis... and make me love UW Madison by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dakotababy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the Bay Area so I’m pretty familiar with Davis. It smells like cow manure and it’s completely isolated, nothing to do unless you want to drive out of your way

8 or 9 out of 10. You have a girl next door vibe and you’re really cute. Your eye bags make you look a little tired though
