I got admission to both University of Washington and UCSD. Currently I am living in Utah. I think both are excellent schools. I really have no idea which one I should go to? Could someone please give me some advice? I would really appreciate it!! Good Luck to everyone!

Do you like rain?? I know it has nothing to do with schools but Seattle is kind of a dreary city, some of us love it (i've lived here for 8 years), while San Diego has a lot more sun and some prople need that.
I'm switiching careers so I chose UW based on it's excellent variety of electives, among other reasons. I dont really know much about UCSD so I cant comment on it.

U. C. S. D. All. The. Way. Go Tritons!

In all seriousness, U Wash's pharmacy program more established. UCSD's in a REALLY kick ass town and the school's, imo, better (Yes, I'm biased).

I don't know. Both school have great academic/research reputation. But my tie-breaker's definitely the weather: La Jolla is a place I would retire in.

Then again, we've absolutely no athletics to root for. U Wash has a football team.

=) When did u hear from UW?? And from USCD?? As for choosing... i dunno... USCD's weather would probably make me want to go there! Sunshine! I <3 sunny weather =) They're both state U's and well-established, so I'd like the USCD location personally.

I got admission letter from UW on March 6th, but the letter was dated March 1st. UCSD was March 15th. Thank you!

It really depends where u want to work after graduating. I heard that California has a seperate license from the rest of the US. So if you want to work in california after graduation, go to ucsd. If you want to go anywhere but california, go to uw.

Thank you for your advice. Did you go to UW? If so, could you please tell me something more about UW? How do you like it? How is the housing on and around campus? I really appreciate it! 🙂

Since it has been over a month from my interview date, I do not remember a whole lot. I did post something on SDN interview feedback section under UW two days ago. Hopefully that would be a little bit helpful!

UCSD is such a nice location right in heart of San Diego and OMG the weather is awsome. I hate the rain in Seattle!!!
