Hey guys, I just got off the waitlist at Penn State, so would love to hear your thoughts before I make a decision.
UCR
Pros:
-10 minutes from home
- true p/f no class rank
- in state tuition + 40k merit scholarship (COA is half of PSCOM)
- California Weather
- support system
Cons
- fewer research opportunities
- newer school / less competitive match list
- too close to home (not a new experience / location)
Penn State
Pros:
- Strong reputation and competitive match list
- P/F with no class rank (or is it internal rank?)
- Abundant Research
Cons:
- Location (boring?) and Weather
- High COA
- No support network
- Stressful (?)
Please share your thoughts!
