[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely apply to both.  I got into both, toured both - thought UCLA was going to be the end all-be all for me, but I ended up going to Cal.  LOVED my experience.

But to answer your actual question - if your child wants to stay in California over the long run, UCLA would be a great choice.  If s/he wants to move back to the East Coast or move internationally, I would choose Cal.  It just has a better, longer-seeded reputation outside of California. [b] People in DC seem extremely impressed when I tell them I went to Cal[/b]; surprised me a lot when I moved here - being from California, it was just a good school that a lot of my friends also went to.

And more - your child needs to think *really* hard about whether s/he is a southern California person or a northern California person.  Because they are VERY different places, and his/her college experience will be influenced by that.

people in DC care way too much about where someone went to college.  Grow up people.  [/quote]
