Thanks Shrinkrap, and YES!!! My parents are a bit partial to the UCs. They did their best to stay in the background while I made my chioce, except that after receiving all of the financial information, they told me there was one (private) that they simply could not afford. (That was fine because it was not on my personal list of finalists - whew!) After my decision was made, my mom did confess that she was a tiny bit sad that she wouldn't be able to say - in a very offhand way with a toss of her head - "My daughter's at Cal..." to anyone who would listen.
As for the $$$, my parents were actually very pleased with my choice because I was very honored to receive some wonderful merit scholarships that made that (private) school less expensive than the UCs. After attending orientation, I really feel as though I made the right choice - it is a great "fit." (If you're wondering - USC!!! Fight On!!!)
