tie breaker considerations

  • How much the $82k scholarship at UC Davis should weigh vs UCSD prestige/location
  • Whether social life concerns at UCSD are actually true or just stereotypes
  • Which major/program has better opportunities (Medicinal Chem vs Pharmacological Chem) without getting a masters
  • Internship/research access in each location (Davis vs San Diego)

both are strong options. the $82k scholarship at uc davis is really hard to ignore. especially as an international student. it would give a lot more financial flexibility. i think that ucsd definitely has the location/vibe advantage. davis seems like the safer and more practical choice. ucsd is more of a lifestyle/prestige pick depending on how much that matters. how much of a problem would you consider cost?

Second that on the $82k scholarship. Just be sure to have plans for the summer b/c it gets really hot in Davis in the summer.
