[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T[b]here are tens of thousands of high school seniors that spent perhaps  years studying and taking get classes to do well on the act and sat's[/b]. This really changes college admissions for middle class Californians who can't afford private college (donut hole families). I now live in CA and have an 8th grader. I can't afford private college [b]so UC's are his only option[/b]. There is a specialized high school program in our city that is competitive and no guarantee of A's or our local high school that isn't as rigorous but I am told easier to get A's since most of the top students go to the specialized high school. Not sure what we will decide.[/quote]

I have a senior, who basically fits into the above. I'm fine with the decision and not worried at all.

And, no that's not your son's only option. There are a ton of wonderful CSU's. I know because I went to one of them. I landed better than my BFF, who did engineering at a top UC. It's not a given, just like the A's you're worried about.

Finally, let your kid decide. My kid could go private or elite, but wants a big state school (outside of CA) because he loves college football.[/quote]
