<p>OP, did you ever visit Cal? If not, then you should at least visit it before you decides to go to UCLA, IMO.
Don’t get it wrong though. My son likes UCLA better than Cal, and I’m not forcing him to go to Cal. But I suggested that he should at least visit it during any admitted student events so he can get a better idea what Cal is, not just judging his likeness by “thinking”.
At the same time, like other posters suggested, you should take your dad to the Bruin day too.
Good luck!</p>
