Thanks for withdrawing from Penn! Hope I get your spot

Have fun at UCLA, not crazy at all if the money's right, and besides SoCal >>> anywhere else on the planet
Other than a couple NYU admit calls, been kind of quiet this week...
Yeah, it's pretty crazy to pay close to sticker (5k/year scholly) for UCLA with Penn on the table.
Tuition is also 10k/yr cheaper for two years after becoming a resident, so UCLA is 35k less expensive for me. And location/proximity to where I want to start a career was an important factor for me.
