UC Davis Decisions Are Out

[Anonymous]

I was a little surprised when one of DC's good friends went to Davis from MD four years ago, but since then have regularly hear of kids applying. My other DC never considered it, but when he saw the campus really regretted not applying.

Friends DS is in a Berkeley (early acceptance), Davis and Michigan but waitlist at Irvine. The UCs are tough to get into. This kid is stellar.

I grew up in Northern CA and now live in Northern Virginia. I think this is a good call in terms of relative intrastate prestige, and even the locations are similar.

So what does that make Cal Poly?

you are prohibited from posting about UC’s if you call it “Cali.”

I guess it really bothers me as a native Californian (from Davis actually) to see UCs thrown into the obsessive maelstrom of East Coast sweaty college admissions grubbing. UCs should be for Californians.

+1. They’re already hard enough to get into for Californians.

The UC colleges have the advantage of interaction. You can start your academic career at Riverside, a relatively non-selective college and finish your PhD at UCLA. You can also transfer more easily between them. Say you started at UCSB and found it too remote, you could transfer to UCLA without much difficulty.

And I'm not making this stuff up. I live in LA and have kids who will be applying in the Fall, and many friends and acquaintances who attended a variety of the UC colleges.

This is complete bologna. Yes, you can go to graduate school from one UC to the next but it’s not easy. And transferring is difficult into the top UCs (of course exceptions where grades are stellar)

No one in DC cares about Davis or Irvine. Please stop.

I grew up in California and even I didn’t and don’t care about Davis and Irvine. There’s an LA page on DCUM.

Stupid for a mid atlantic/NE kid to go to a UC like Davis, Irvine. Might as well be closer to home and got to UConn or UMass.

This thread isn’t about you. Stop being a weirdo. Applying to UC schools is relatively common.
