[quote=Anonymous]I'm in LA.  If the above itinerary is too jammed for you, just apply to the UC schools without visiting.

It won't make a difference in that they don't want demonstrated interest, and there is only one application to fill out for all the UC schools, and you can check as many boxes as schools you want (and pay more application fee per school, but still)

Then you can go back and explore the ones that your kid got into.

FYI the UC system is right now/actively trying to limit OOS kids as a response to in-state uproar (we in-staters can't get our kids to our own colleges). So I would not concentrate on the UC schools, if you are in the area, just drive through them.

And yes, if in LA, look at LMU and don't omit driving through Pepperdine, omg for the views alone....if your kid likes Pepperdine then just know DCUM rips on it a lot but I live near there are it's not religiously cray-cray as DCUM makes it out to be.

Oh! Not for OP but for anyone else reading this board--Scripps.  Beautiful, and a women's college physically next to co-ed colleges so there are men too.  My DD got into her ED school but the one school both of us, independently, lamented was the "alternate universe" of going to Scripps.

Finally, fyi, as you asked for "types of schools" my kids' high school deans recommend going to the Claremont Consortium schools, and then walking through USC and UCLA to get the different vibes.  Example, Pomona can correlate to an east coast SLAC.  Technical school is Harvey Mudd.  Women's college is Scripps.  UCLA--large public urban.  USC--med large private urban.  Etc...
