Chance my son at the UCs and Cal States [CA resident, 3.53 UW, 3.63 UC capped, business or data analytics]

Since you say no budget - when you tell me big school and I’m thinking more SDSU / UCLA, I think U of Arizona as a sub.

Growing up in San Diego, many who didn’t get into UCLA went to Arizona or Colorado - obviously the environmental landscape is different but not so much the school’s themselves - although the UCs are on a quarter system vs semester.

But Arizona is another close to home name to look at.
