[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all, I am helping a family friend on his college applications (the duties of a first-gen immigrant college grad lol). I was researching rankings and was shocked to see that 6 of the top 10 public universities are UCs. When I was applying to college (in 2016) in VA, it was normal for kids to apply to Cal, UCLA, Michigan, Wisconsin, UIUC, but never heard of anyone applying going to UC Davis or Irvine. Is it common for kids from out of state to attend UCs? Obviously, everyone knows Berkeley and LA, but are UCSD/UCI, etc underrated?[/quote]

They’re expensive for out-of-state students and all extremely selective, and getting into the classes needed to graduate takes five years.

For a typical DMV kid thinking hazily about the UC schools, the University of Arizona, Arizona State and the University of Washington would probably be better options.

For a broke DMV kid who’s dying to go to school in California, look at the California state schools, or maybe at private schools other than USC.[/quote]
