<p>^^^
It appears that you are referring to me and that is troubling. My kid applied and was accepted to Cal Poly SLO, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI (Honors), UCSC (Scholarship) and Cal poly Pomona (Honors). We attended the admitted students day or toured all these schools except UCI and UCSC. My kid also applied to Harvey Mudd, but it did not work out and we were very grateful for that due to the expense (over $55K annually which I most definitely could not afford). My kid had no interest in UCB and would not have attended regardless of outcome – his choice. I am not giving false information nor and I misleading anyone on this forum. Cal Poly SLO was his first choice. Please do not make these accusations if they are not true.</p>
<p>I respect all these schools, otherwise my kid would not have applied to them. However, they were a mismatch for my kid and some left a less than favorable impression on us.</p>
