| These are all peer schools, let your kid chose. |

| We are in same boat. With ucb and umich in the mix. Most likely will choose uva. Due to cost and ease of mcintire and its clubs. |

UCLA
UVA UNC I'm a UVA alum and loved it, but I would not turn down college in LA. |

| My DD is a freshman at UCLA. She’s very happy there, growing from experiencing a new part of the country and navigating life there. Having rich outdoor experiences, good socially. Getting into classes seems a bit haphazard compared to my SLAC. But she wanted a big rah rah school with good academics and motivated students. It’s working out very nicely. Has good friends. |

UCLA due to its national reputation and secondarily, it is ranked as the top US public university

You wish. UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan and maybe UNC are peer schools. |

| I’d hope my kid would pick UCLA if they were all actually options. |

| Agree these are all peer schools. I don’t think the proposed majors are a deciding factor for any of them. Would choose based on location, visits, etc. as well as cost if that matters to you, as they are different on that front. |

My kid would choose UCLA because so few kids from her small private end up with that choice, and it has such a great reputation. |

| UNC I believe is much cheaper than the other two OOS. They are all strong schools. |
