[quote=Anonymous]Some misperceptions- all of the UCs are very competitive to get into with the exception of UC Merced. That location is not a draw and there is nothing near the school but some strip malls. I know multiple kids with 3.8+ GPAs and several 4.0s (UW), many APs, etc who didn’t get into a single one (granted didn’t apply to Merced). The Cal States are also competitive with ones like Cal Poly SLO and San Diego State also rejecting the 4.0 crowd. San Jose State is also extremely competitive for impacted majors. Sure the kid can go to one of the commuter Cal States but it’s not exactly a college experience. I think what OP is saying is the kids with great stats can’t get into the top 10/12 state schools in California. Don’t know anywhere else it is like this. [/quote]
