[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original Phillips in Massachusetts does the same. I had a friend whose son went there and they steered him to UIUC. Oh a girl from DC’s class who attended ended up at UC Davis.  I believe she is a Harvard legacy. Wonder if she was even allowed to apply to Harvard if she ended up at Davis. [/quote]

Some kids are adamant about going to school in CA.  On UC Davis family day in fall ‘25, I encountered a father of a high stats Connecticut kid who was going to UCD for this reason.  Combination of location and program can lead to this result.[/quote]

Barely anyone in California finds Davis to be a desirable location. UCLA or Santa Barbara sure, but not Davis - the only explanation I would find more plausible is wanting to major in viticulture or animal science/pre-vet. [/quote]

Agree with this.  I have family in Davis and it certainly has a cute town and the school is strong in bio, agriculture, vet, etc. BUT it's location is pretty far away from SF/East Bay and UC Davis unfortunately has the reputation of being full of kids who couldn't get into Cal, UCLA or UCSD (and maybe UCSB or UCI also).[/quote]
