<p>My son applied to UCR, but I don’t know WHAT to think at this point, and he had no interest in any UC but UCSB ( ha!) up until now. He’s done much better in the PNW admission pool, and for about the same money at privates. Just have to convince him to check them out with an open mind.</p>
<p>He also got into U of Pacific, Chico, Monterey, Sonoma State, and Cal Poly Pomona, and Pomona is looking interesting. Still waiting on SDSU, but I don’t think he has checked on that portal.</p>
