[quote=Anonymous]I’ve learned a lot from this board and I know the college landscape has changed from when I applied 30 years ago!  My oldest is a sophomore so we have a ways to go. So far he is a good student, taking a couple of APs, some EC (I think he should lean in more but I think it will look decent on paper, sports teams also but not the star so wont be a recruited athlete) and no idea how he will do on the standardized tests. He’s interested in going to college on the west coast (we have family there so have visited often) and I’m thinking of doing a road trip this summer to take a look at schools beyond the obvious (Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Pamona which I know are super competitive and may be out of his reach).  He doesn’t have the context yet to know if he’d be happier in a SLAC or large university so this trip is really to see a variety of different school types. Any suggestions?  We’d include Washington and Oregon too so not just CA.

We’d mix it up with some fun too so and he’s really on board with this idea so it’s not a pressure filled trip by any means.

And if anyone has experience of their kid going to (or even applying to) school on the west coast, I’d love to hear about their experiences!  [/quote]
