I was recently admitted to the Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology program at UCLA with a Regents Scholarship and the Biochemistry program at Georgetown.

Ultimately, my question is this: Is the UCLA program significantly better than the Georgetown program in terms of a) the academics/learning experience itself and b) the doors that it will open in terms of internships/job opportunities? Will having a UCLA science degree (a strong program, plus Regents) look significantly better than a Georgetown science degree (not really what GT is known for) on a resume, etc.?

I ask this because I see myself as a better fit at Georgetown. I fell in love with the school and am not sure where to draw the line between the stronger program and the campus/school vibe/size/etc. that I prefer.
