[quote=Anonymous]I actually didn't know what I wanted. My parents were checked out (depression era adults scrambling just to get by) and my public high school counselor was poor (so Cal). Money was always an issue. The UC system was too large in my mind but there was no one existant who told me otherwise. I was the top student in my high school so applied to Stanford, Pomona, Scripps and Occidental, got into all, and stupidly picked the latter because it offered a nat. presbyterian scholarship of $1k. I needed adult help but there was no one. And no one from my high school class of 500 looked east. So never even thought of the Ivies.[/quote]
