University of San Diego is lovely - and has a solid reputation. Claremont colleges also seem amazing. Not a fan of UCSD - too big/giant concrete buildings.

LACs private: Occidental College (gives merit), 5Cs (Pitzer and Scripps are the only ones that measure demonstrated interest and are easiest to get into the other 3 are improbable and not worth getting fixated on).
Mid-size private: Chapman, Loyola Marymount, U of SantaClara, U of San Diego, U of San Francisco

Add Pepperdine.

Depends on the student. Their academic stats, major, college size preferences. And your budget.

I've driven by Pepperdine many times - it's looks awesome. What am I missing about this school vs other Cal beach schools? What did you see in Pepperdine that was different from other schools?

Or Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, or Davis, for that matter. Would add UCLA to the list.

Definitely the 5Cs, for efficiency’s sake.
