Hi everyone! Hope this is in the right place - I’m a first time poster. Well here’s the dilemma. I was admitted to UCI and into their campuswide honors program. I would go for free if I lived at home, plus a couple K extra each year. My major here is Political Science. After a long process of applications and an interview, I was offered the President’s Scholarship at Cal State Fullerton. Please look it up, the benefits are fantastic. I would be paid about 70,000 after 4 yrs. at CSUF. But I cannot get over the fact that it’s ‘just’ a Cal State. Here my major is American Studies. I was also admitted into UCLA, and into their Alumni Scholars Club, which only gave me 1,000 per year. I would have loans and consequently interest if I attend UCLA, which I would not have at the other schools. Here my major is political science. The goal after receiving my BA is law school. I applied and was admitted to 3 other schools, but these three are the ones I’m considering. Please offer any insight as to which would prepare better for law school, would benefit me in admissions, etc , it is much appreciated.
