<p>I will be in the same boat as you if I get into both this year. </p>
<p>I applied to Berkeley as a Philosophy major and as an art history major at UCLA(but will most likely switch to philosophy or double major if I attend).</p>
<p>I live about 10 miles from UCLA’s campus. And unfortunately my EFC is not 0. Parents will have to pay 6-8 thousand of the total estimated costs which should mean that my tuition and fees to ucla will be waived with grants(assuming they give me the same amount UCI did). My choice will be made based on money, because I don’t think I could justify paying more than 15K for two years to attend Berkeley(including housing costs) when I have the next best thing for next to nothing(considering I’ll be living at home).</p>
<p>From the way I understand UCLA vs UCB for philosophy is that UCLA is more analytical than Berkeley. Berkeley tends to be more broad and conver more subjects and philosophers. This is based on the opinions of professors and students I’ve talked to including what I’ve read hear on CC.</p>
