[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she was at private, she had small classes, teachers she bonded with, discussion based classes where her opinion mattered, and was able to get in all the classes she chose.

She will not have that experience at all at UCLA. Classes of 250+ mainly taught by graduate students, professors that are really there are only to do research and don’t care about undergrads, and no one really cares what you think. Classes are rambled info and you 100% need to take initiative in anything as you are left on your own. And others are right about course selection. [/quote]

To tell you the truth, UCLA needs you (full-pay OOS) more than you need UCLA. My D received full tuition scholarship at various UC campuses, some offering more than others (> tuition & fees), honors, chancellor's.  We decided on a out-of-state SLAC for many of the reasons you see in this thread. This instinct was confirmed when we learned how cut throat UC administrators are. Last year, UC Irvine screwed up on yield calculation and ended up rescinding 500 admissions just weeks before fall classes were to start. This doesn't surprise anyone who knows UC. [/quote]
