Congrats, Whittier is a fine school. In case you do change your mind, just thought I’d throw in:

Between Redlands and LaVerne IMO Redlands has a little better academic rep. of the two. It is, as indicated above, more of a residential school. It is a little bit out in nowhere, about half way between LA and Palm Springs. the campus is very nice, not much else around it.

La Verne has a little more of a local/commuter student base. It’s about 45 minutes east of Los Angeles (Redlands about another 1/2 hour away). The La Verne campus is okay, I think Redlands is a bit nicer. LaVerne does have a little “village” (shops etc.) adjacant and LaVerne is 5 minutes from the Claremont colleges/Claremont village/art colony area.

Not sure of your “timing” but if you’re looking for other private schools in the Los Angeles area, there are also Loyola, Pepperdine and Occidental, among others. USC is an excellent school and my own biased choice would be any of the Claremont Colleges.
