[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following up on 15:05, legit question for the CA parents (I am an east coaster). Are some of you saying that families would prefer to send their students out of state to privates because of some issue with CA publics or something else? Or just that there are a small number of non-CA privates that are worth it?

For example, in CA you have UCLA, SD, SB, Cal, Cal Poly and many others, plus some privates. Would you say high stats kids and their families are more interested in leaving for a flagship like Wisconsin/Michigan or privates like Hopkins/Duke?

Maybe it is because I am not in CA, but trying to understand this. I am in a state with very few universities worth the price, so for us OOS is important. In CA it might be different.

Thank you![/quote]

I'm a CA parent of a high stats private HS student. If I know my kid, they will apply at UCLA & Berekely and leave it at that for CA schools. They really want to go out of state because like a lot of other students, they want to go to school away from home. East Coast schools already getting a lot of chatter in our house. It's the way of the world.

Unrelated, I think someone else asked about tuition and there was reference to the Western Tuition Exchange, site is here if you want to look up the specific schools/majors that qualify and the tuition discounts. https://www.wiche.edu/tuition-savings/wue/wue-savings-finder/
