[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's tougher to get into S now than H.

Also the author mentions having gone to HS in Socal.

I would venture to believe the attitude was somewhat different in Marin County or Cupertino High. [/quote]

Harvard stlll accepts 10% fewer students than Stanford and Harvard's yield is 82% this year compared to Stanford's 76%.  So tougher to get into Stanford? No. Does Stanford get more apps?  Yes, so there is that. U.S. News strikes again.

As for East Coast/West Coast - lots of East Coast kids have never heard of Berkeley.  Is that like Cal?  Stanford has better name recognition because of sports, not academics.  As for all the other UCs - hardly on anybody's radar at all.[/quote]

My East Coast born and bred kids (2 in college and 1 in HS) and their pals definitely have Cal and UCLA on their radar; also, increasingly know of UCSD.     [/quote]

Well my two DCs at two different high schools had a grand total of two kids in their graduating private classes go to California.  One to Stanford and one to some lesser UC.  That's two kids out of 300.  The schools sent more to Princeton than than all Cali schools combined.  And I can't remember any Cal schools marketing to either kid although I do remember stuff from Arizona.  The land of suntans, fake boobs, and casual attitudes just doesn't sell well around here.[/quote]

California is definitely not for the pasty-faced, the tight-assed and the self-righteous.  West coast-represent, now put your hands up, baby.           [/quote]

I'd rather have a casual attitude then have a permanent stick up my bum like the crowd here does. Please, remove said stick, get laid, and get a makeover. All of you![/quote]
