I’ve basically narrowed down my choices between Occidental College, and UCLA.
Both are in Los Angeles, I love them both, I could see myself living at either one, thought both very different… I want to go pre med. At Oxy I’d go Kinesiology, UCLA I’d go Physiological science…

as far as pros/cons

UCLA will transfer my 40 CC units take my AP scores, Oxy will not. UCLA is $11,000/year cheaper. Oxy is def less competative, and I will play football there, and I think potentially have a higher GPA.

If i had a 3.4 at UCLA and a 3.6 at Oxy, which would look better applying for med school?

I know I need to decide on where I’ll be happy, but at this point, its what is going to be better for my future… I DO plan on going to Grad school, so I need to take finances into consideration…

thanks…
