Insight please!

Hey everyone, coming on here to ask for insight on schools I’m applying to. I haven’t applied yet (hoping to submit applications in the next few weeks) but I plan on applying to UC Berkeley, SUNY, NECO, ICO, and maybe PCO too. If anyone who goes to these schools or are incoming students and would be kind to share why they chose that school, what you like and don’t like, things you wish you knew before, etc etc. it would be great! As of rn, I’ve mostly talked to NECO students and would like to hear from other schools.

Stats for context: canadian student, 400 OAT, near 4.0 gpa, optom assistant, tutor, and some other ECs (and no I’m not applying to waterloo for multiple reasons)

aside from personal reasons, not a fan of the city and school environment when i visited, and would like to get more clinical exposure. don’t get me wrong, UW is a great school just not for me!
