Hi, I've been accepted to both Stanford and UCLA, and I'm having a tough time choosing. Costwise, both schools will be about the same since my family qualifies for financial grants at Stanford.
Academically, I think I'd choose UCLA because of its strengths in a wide range of programs, its top medical centers.
From some of the negatives I'm read about stanford in this forum (ie, riding on its name, outdated cirriculum, run down facilities, etc) I'm less inclined to go.
But my Girlfriend is going to UCSF, which means we can be close by. This is important to both of us.
Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
