Thanks everybody!!
Carnation, I think it will be hard to choose between the two. Simply because my parents are very intent on me staying close to home, and though both schools are supposedly equal in academic quality, one school does seem to hold a better reputation. Davis is one and a half hour away from my house, but Irvine will take at least 8 hours to drive to. Davis also has a very strong national reputation, while Irvine is less known, but still academically strong (I think because Davis has been around since 1905 but UCI just started in 1965). Also, unfortunately, at my high school ppl seem to think Davis is much better than Irvine (I have NO clue why). Our school, though, is a feeder school to both Davis and Berkeley.
I'm having trouble with what ppl think, unfortuantely
. I think I am being influenced by ppl who think Davis is better than Irvine. I know I should just go with what
I feel, but it is hard!! I think, in the end, I'll go to UCI...just because I'm much more of a city girl (though UCI is suburban) while UCD is soo rural (cows...yuck). I also love SoCal
!
I know what you mean, Carnation! People at my school are above infuriated. It is really sad to see!
DeltAlum, a big
congratulations!! to you and your son! Wow, that is amazing...only 20 people were accepted?! I really hope everything works out for your family. Did your son get accepted to Northwestern? I really hope so. He definitely has the statistics to get in! Tell him from one high school senior to another, congratulations and good luck!!
TriDeltaGal, I too have heard that the Tri-Delts are awesome at UCI and UCD!
The Greek systems at UCI and UCD are supposed to be fabulous! I will definitely PM you...I would love to hear your story! I will also tell you the theory my friends and I have about UCSB
. Thanks for all your kind wishes!!
