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.[/quote]

Ugh, at that price, at least go to Berkeley. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
