hello, did you receive FA for Amherst? Money could be a major factor in your decision.

I spent years in the Amherst area and really liked it. I learned to X-country ski. I worked with a wonderful Amherst prof for my MS. I’m a fan of LACs for UG. This is my personal feelings, so I hope I’m not flamed for expressing my ideas. Think about your learning style; do you like smaller classes with discussions? Are you the type to seek out profs in their offices? Jobs in your field are competitive; you will need LORs and internships to move ahead.

What I would do is check the links above to determine how competitive your major would be at Cal, if you need a certain GPA to major in your field of interest.
