Majors: I would like to go into research, but I hear that does not pay very well at all. I do not want to go into medical (gore) or economics (corruption), but could consider most other majors because I like most academic things. I will have to look into UCLA honors program. I was accepted to the college of Physics in LA, so my majors there are: Biophysics, Astrophysics, BS Physics, and BA Physics.

Career: I intend to go into academia but may consider other options for money purposes.

Atmosphere: I would very much prefer the smaller college atmosphere, but I do know quite a few people likely going to LA.

Graduation: I have many AP tests, and plan on taking as many classes as I can, so this may not be an issue. 4 in European History; 5 in English Language, Environmental Science, Calculus BC (AB 5 as well), Physics B, US History, and Chemisty; taking this year (parenthesis expectations form practice): Human Geography (4-5), World History (5), Literature (4-5), Statistics (5), Psychology (5), Biology (5), US Gov (5), Physics C Mech (4-5), Physics C EM (3-5)

Cutbacks: Is the economy getting better or is the UC system going to keep getting worse?

Update: I now have Berkeley on the table as well, what does that change?
