[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is interested in Los Angeles area schools - he's thinking about political science, business/economics, maybe centered on the entertainment business. Here's what I know - what am I missing? USC - super hard to get into, great film school, bad neighborhood. UCLA - also super hard to get into. Huge. Not sure why it is so great or such a hard admit. Loyola Marymount - right near Santa Monica, Catholic, mid-size (7k or so), good for people who want to get into the entertainment business but can't get into the two above schools. Has a dedicated business school. Chapman - good for film, easier to get into. Occidental - super woke? Is that right? Claremont Mckenna schools - 5 school consortium, hard to get into. Whittier - Nixon. Kid does not yet know what he wants in terms of size. He's doing IB diploma, has just over a 4.0 GPA and should have good test scores...i.e. in-state UVA and W&M are on the table but not guaranteed admits. What am I missing about the above schools? Other schools in the area that should be on our list?[/quote] UCLA is so great because it is a cheap and prestigious in-state school; it is not so great for oos at the undergraduate level. You would want USC over UCLA anyday for oos undergrad — and USC will also be an even tougher admit.[/quote]
