Professor, Thank you for the info on Fullerton and Irvine. I know a sophomore at Fullerton who loves it and has just started her summer job at Disneyland as Mickey Mouse!!! How incredibly fun is that? (Imagine telling your grandchildren you used to be Mickey Mouse?) One thing people on the east coast may not understand is the tremendous pressure on CA high school students to attend a UC school, rather than a state school. It is absolutely overwhelming, but is not always the best choice for everyone. They hear it since elementary school and it becomes part of the psyche. I suggested Fullerton, but my own son chose UCI....partly because of the NY satellite program. Again, that may seem like a small thing to east coasters, but to the typical southern californian NY seems like a very scary land of OZ. I love this (new to me) website and will keep you posted on UCI. They also are talking about making it an auditioned program, but who knows. I just hope my son will be happy in this incredibly tough profession. |
