[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The good news is that there are options and workarounds. For example, in CA you can be guaranteed admission to an UC if you go to community college for 2 years and meet certain criteria (classes taken and GPA) - this even applies to Berkeley! No, it's not a glamorous path, but your diploma will still be from the college you graduate from. There are alternate pathways in this area as well, I'm just not as familiar with them because my kids are toddlers. Seriously, start talking to other parents and doing some research.[/quote]

I love that a mother of toddlers is recommending community college to the mom of a junior with a 1560 SAT and straight As!  Only on DCUM.

OP, your kid can probably get into the best public universities in the country and many schools in the top 30.  [/quote]

I'm the mom of toddlers. First of all, you cut out the part of my response where I said perfect grades and 99th percentile SATs already weren't enough when I was in high school over a decade ago. This sentiment is not new. Parents have been complaining about this for a long time - it's crazy to get to HS without having a plan A, B and C.

Also, Berkeley is one of the top schools in the country so I don't understand the snark. [/quote]
