[quote=Anonymous]OP are you in the DMV or CA? If CA, what area? UC admission stats are a very wide swing depending on where you located. You really can’t look at the general acceptance rate. The good and bad about all UCs with the exception of UCLA is that there are really good students and students who don’t even meet the basic proficiency bar on state math and English tests. UCSD is not alone in having kids who can’t write a basic essay or do middle school math. The plus in this is that your kid will be exposed to a greater range of people with varying academic and intellectual capabilities which mirrors workplaces. The negative is that if your kid is influenced by peers..ie slacks off if they think they are smarter or doesn’t work as hard if others are not as good or better they will need to learn to not do that and become self driven. Some private school kids struggle with this. [/quote]
