[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of you want to actually talk about the quality of different top schools? Or just rant about admissions practices?[/quote]

There is one anti UC poster who is constantly posting. She/he is either a. an anti-CA MAGA b. a DMV moved to CA parent shocked that their kid with a high SAT got rejected from the top 5 UC schools in the top 10 or the disgruntled TA.

The top 10 public schools are research institutions. They often have unmatchable opportunities in STEM and Social Sciences but are far weaker in humanities and arts. If you are considering OOS then you really should look for what matches your child. If you want small classes,  easier networking and want to major in English, history or classics than go to a SLAC not a top 10 public. If you are interested in premed, go to a top public that has a hospital and medical associated with it or on/near campus. If you are a poli sci major and want to get into politics, go to a top public in a state where you might want to run. If you are an engineering major, go to a public where the type of engineering jobs you would want are located.

Rankings are important but having a strategic eye toward your next step is even more important.[/quote]

There is not just one anti-UC poster.  I barely post anything and have been directly called the former UCLA TA, whoever that is, in this thread.

The UC schools are fine but the recent changes to their admissions practices spells doom for their university system.  It isn’t just being test blind but having quotas for students from each high school which overlooks top students and allows in underperforming students who went to underperforming high schools to get in where they have no business being.[/quote]
