[quote=Anonymous]My DS is in his third year at Cal, came from a DCPS high school. The education is superb and the reputation, especially internationally, is excellent. Also, it can be hard to get classes, but not that hard to graduate in 4 years if one is strategic. Cal is much more diverse than UVA. White kids are the third largest group after Asians (about 50%) and Latinos (about 25%), and it is a real meritocracy. Many smart kids from disadvantaged backgrounds who are the first generation to go to college. None of the "legacy" admits that you find at the top privates. One caveat - at Cal, there is no hand-holding. So, if your DC needs more support, Cal may not be a great fit. But, if your DC is very independent and driven, it is a fantastic experience. [/quote]
