It is not hard to get into a UC out of state. UCLA or Cal, those are hard. But if you are willing to pay OOS tuition for UCSC or Davis it’s much easier. Some self-selection of course, but the acceptance rate at Davis from our high school is usually 90-100%.

What a dumb reason to move.

^^meant to add- from Herndon ^^

There is always UC Riverside. The Inland Empire will be nice change of pace for a Highlander or Saxon.

Fewer kids apply from Herndon, but they don’t get in. That seems like a terrible strategy and terrible reason to switch schools.

Maybe so, and maybe that’s a decent reason to switch. But to game college admissions? Hell no.

OP, you cannot be serious

Your child still might not get in coming from Herndon. Will it have been worth it if that’s the case?

Because your kid would have to move away from their entire social scene mid high school and apply from there?

Herndon is a different vibe, yes it’s technically the same ffx curriculum but I don’t see why you would upend some major parts of your life just to do this.

Spinning off the "DMV is a handicap thread"; Almost no one applied from Herndon to the UCal schools but looks like a lot applied from Langley/McLean. The data is posted here: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

If a UCal is your target school - any downside to transferring to Herndon HS and applying from there?
