@waitingpatiently2016 I was in your shoes back in March and I chose UCSB over UW, Biology major too. Although I fell in love with the UW campus, UCSB is much cheaper so I chose SB.
*TIP: visit SB! I wasn’t too hot about the school until I went to the Open House. It’s really a beautiful campus even though it isn’t as nice at UW. If you still have time, drive down (or up lol) to see the school, it might help you and your daughter decide.
If you’re planning on getting a graduate’s degree definitely go with SB, you might regret a higher student debt if you’re getting a second degree. Hope to see you at SB!
