WFU for CS or UCSB for CE?

I don’t know about the actual programs but I am pretty familiar with schools. Yes, UCSB is in ranked in the country’s Top 10 Public Schools. But to me, it is sooooo different from WFU. Public school v private school. Large classes v small classes. No sports v sports program. Beachside California school v gated suburban southern/east coast school. Mild Greek System v Large Greek System. 20,000 kids v 5,000 kids.

They are both amazing schools. Both prestigious. If you really want to go to WFU, I’d get a letter sent to their Admissions Director ASAP stating why you are a good fit and what you will bring to the community. Is there anything new since you applied that you can put in a letter? It’s worth a try, although I everyone I know at UCSB loves it!
