<p>@crizello–my D applied to UCM. We visited a few weeks ago and she really liked the campus, housing, the looks of the biology program, but is somewhat dubious about living in/near Merced for 4 years. I think it would be a great option for her but it’s not my decision, ultimately.</p>
<p>@Shrinkrap – congrats to your son on getting into Cal Poly Pomona! Your stats comparing admissions in 09 to this year confirm my suspicions–timing was really bad as far as getting into CA public schools this year. I, too, think DD could have been admitted in 09 and 10, but not this year.</p>
