I know.

Not to mention, ONM should't be considered a "critic" for the reasons in my last post lmao.

Yeah the fact that an official Nintendo magazine reviews Nintendo products is hella amusing

Don't think that was what Dude was referring to

I know and I really love the irony but I was responding to Olimar haha

Well, I finally got the financial aid amount for my top two schools: UC Berkeley and UCLA.
For Berkeley, I got the offer of $12,532 and for UCLA, I got $15,263. Thing is, UCLA's tuition is considerably larger and I do not know which college I want to choose. Both are the college I really want to go to and I love them pretty much equally....

[Zeila]

Really? I was under the impression that each UC is relatively the same in terms of price (at least, tuition wise). Also, while both colleges are pretty good, I think Berkeley is slightly better overall. You should look into it based off of your major and see which college offers more for it

This is something that you might not do anyways, but if you live close enough to one of them to the point where you can commute, that is something to consider as well. Gratz btw!

[shadowhunter301]

Oops sorry Zeil! Wrong usage of words there. I didn't mean considerably. Just a ~$6,000 difference. But yeah, thank you! 
Honestly, I was really shocked when I got into Berkeley and UCLA. It was a dream come true. It was pretty risky too, because I only applied to those two schools.

And yeah, I should look more into the business majors. I could commute easily to UCLA from my house, but I will have to live in a dorm for UC Berkeley. I can't spend ten hours (by car) or sixteen hours (by bus) commuting to and from Berkeley. XD

UCLA was on my hitlist list of colleges I was looking at, mostly because I think I'd like LA better as a location

All you youngsters still in high school, do not do this. Don't even consider it. I don't care if you don't like half the schools you apply to, or if you're 103% certain that you'll get into your top school, or that essays are tedious and boring. What's $50 and a few hours if it can ensure that an unfortunate circumstance does not become worse? If college is going to be a major part of your life, make sure it can be.

In any case, I'm glad it worked out for you, shadowhunter.

[FireArrow]

All you youngsters still in high school, do not do this.

Especially if those 2 schoolds are UCLA and Berkley. I know a guy with a 4.0+ gpa that didn't get in.

[DrP]

I would think in-state schools would have the same tuition (when I applied to UCLA, UCB, UCD and UCSB, they were all the same)...

But that's super cool you got into both I didn't get into either

IMO Berkeley is generally better all around, and for business as well. UCLA is a fantastic school too. However, from personal experience it is much better to not live at home your first year or two so you can get the chance to be on your own and have the full college experience. I do get the standpoint from saving money, but the intangible value may be significantly higher. Think of the opportunity cost and weigh that. (Plus you get to live near SF)..

I have a friend who has lived at home through college and even in the beginning of his career and he never had the chance to make the mistakes and learn what it really meant to be an adult (and still is that way). I don't know your situation, but it may be something to consider.

[shadowhunter301]

Thanks guys
And yeah. Never ever apply to so little colleges (read what Zunawe wrote.)

And I'm debating on between Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Sciences and Administration or just going to Med School to become a doctor.

And yeah, I've been told also to dorm for the first two years. Is San Francisco worth it? I mean, I've been there once and compared to where I live, I didn't really like it. Millbrae was alright, actually.

Olimar for speaker of the house 2028

Sig'd.

They did give New Super Mario Bros. 2 a negative review, and only gave it a 90% because it was functional. Make of that what you will.

I'm definitely trying not to take other people's opinions too seriously now, though. ONM ended in October 2014 anyway. Which means they never got to review ORAS. Or Smash U. Or Splatoon. Or talk about amiibos. Or the New 3DS. Or...

[SlowPokemon]

How is 90% a negative review
