[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are enjoying the start of senior year and planning to apply to great colleges like University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder![/quote]

Those are good. Other popular choices with the A/B  maybe a C crowd are University of Oregon, Gonzaga, University of San Diego (private one not UCSD), Pitt, Arizona State.

If they are choosing a non impacted major then their local Cal state or ones other than SJSU, Cal Poly SLO or SDSU (unless they are choosing an easy major and live within the service area). Community college and scrambling for internships, gig code work, start ups for engineering kids that don’t have perfect GPAs.[/quote]

Are you talking about kids who don’t have much rigor? [/quote]

Yes. As long as they aren’t a white or Asian male applying to CS or engineering, those are all good targets. If you are OOS and have a 3.5 then you are very competitive for UCSC, Cal Poly etc. If you are in state, you get a bump if you apply to a school in your service area. Cal Poly, SJSU and SDSU will have B students from its service area and 4.0 students from Nor Cal. [/quote]

Thanks I have a 3.5 kid in So Cal with not much rigor, so was curious.
Appreciate the response. [/quote]
