depends.
I know someone who had mediocre SAT but 9 AP's who got in last year. Her parents are paying about $65.000 per year. |

UCLA is one of the smartest publics.

Ugh, at that price, at least go to Berkeley. |

| Berkeley only if very left leaning. Some kids don't like the extreme left views. |

It is extremely hard to get into from in-state! |

| Recently they were chastised for reducing the number of in-state students in favor of out of state, to increase their funding. So they have a ratio they have to keep to now which includes racial quotas. |

| I don't think out of state students get a very good deal. They pay so much more than instate and the school is so overcrowded. All freshman have to live 3 people in a tiny 2 person room. Also they have a long list of impacted majors- everything from communication to economics. You pay for the name but you are not getting a good deal for your money. |

The UC schools, especially Berkeley and UCLA, are overcrowded and underfunded. The UC system made a deal that they would get more funding only if they admitted more students- which they don't have room for. Students at Berkeley were being house at Mills college. These schools are so overpriced for OOS students for the actual quality of education they get. Huge lecture halls, limited housing, difficulty declaring a major that is popular. There are other smaller private schools in California that will give your student a better experience or other OOS publics that have an actual bed for your student and will let them declare a major with less stress. The idea of going to a California public may seem appealing until you further investigate what you will be getting for $60,000 a year. Stanford, The Claremont Colleges, Santa Clara University would be a better deal if your student wants to go to California. Otherwise OOS publics like Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana all have less issues than the California schools. |

What are you yapping about? California publics do not have racial quotas. It is against California law. The repeal failed last year. |

| Exactly right. The lack of any affirmative action consideration results in very few AA students at UCLA or Berkeley. Large numbers of Asian students. |

Hello? How utterly disrespectful and rude you are. Maybe in your house you are considered a dog and that's just how you speak to others. You're disgusting. |
