The civil unrest that continues to unfurl on the Cal campus either scares parents or annoys them - kids getting into both schools this year are tending to lean to UCLA, when 2 years ago, it would have been Cal, no question. UCLA is the “safe” choice for a top UC, until it isn’t. All we parents of current students can do is sigh and remind our kids to steer clear of the conflict so they can get on with getting a top-notch education.
