| Help!
My son is agonizing over Pomona or UCLA. We both appreciate Pomona, with everything it has going for it--the focus on undergrads, attention from profs, helpful letters of rec for graduate programs, brilliant student body and faculty, great endowment unthreatened in the near future by state budget cuts, and a full scholarship WITHOUT loans. He spent a four-day visit and his brother and I joined him there at the second admit day. It would have been a slam dunk until we visited UCLA and he fell in love with it! I know it's apples and oranges, but he has to decide quick! He wants to major in Econ and go on to an MBA. UCLA also offered a full financial package, but it includes about $5,000 per year in loans. Does anybody have words of wisdom? We are also wondering about Beccaco's decision... |
