[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have the highest state population with over 50 public university options. Figure it out. Not everyone goes to college. I have little respect for an UMC kid whining about going to UC Davis instead of Stanford or Berkeley.[/quote]

Yup. I’d also like to see some hard data on all these kids with “amazing” stats that did not get into a single UC. [/quote]
DS rejected from UCLA, UCI, UCSB, UCSD, and UCR with 4.6 GPA, 9 APs, club leadership, and hundreds of hours of volunteer service. Engineering major. Going to CSULB.[/quote]

So he got into the most popular CSU? [/quote]
I have a friend who is a professor at CSULB. Kids are 4.0 at least who go there. Officially the minimum for a CSU is 2.5, but not in reality as to who gets accepted at popular campuses. Maybe CSU Channel Islands but SLO, LB, SDSU, Fullerton are very competitive. [/quote]

Don’t forget SJSU CS and engineering are 4.1 to 4.2. The problem with the CSUs and TBH UC Irvine is that they are commuter campuses. Even the dorms are heavily filled with weekday boarders who live 1-2 hours away. These kid leave after their last class on W or Th and don’t come back until the morning of their next class. It can be really lonely for a kid far from home.[/quote]
