See requirements here for UCSD. It’s capped - it’s not going to be easy. If you truly want to study bioengineering, it’s a big risk.

BU is - pricey.

@thumper1 Thumper makes a great point. For example, I don’t know the undergrad GPA but you can still apply to U of Arizona, a fine school, and if you have a 3.75 UW GPA, it will be cheap. 3.9 really cheap. and 4.0 dirt cheap. And you can still apply - not sure if the major is capped.

ASU is also accepting apps - are listed in US News rankings - but won’t be as cheap.

You can go to UCSD - but you likely but not definitely will need to find an alternative major. I’m not sure about the career prospects - so not sure if BU is worth it from a financial POV.

I guess CC is an option in CA too although I know that’s not what you want for your daughter.

Good luck.
