So UCSC has an inferior education? No offense, but you’re not winning yourself any points here. Please do some more research into the school’s academics and understand that it has made great advances in several areas while being honored for said advances.

Many of my CCC professors graduated from UCs and well-known privates. Several of those were teaching concurrently at local CSUs and UCs. Most of them challenged their students with work loads that were on par with work loads. Many of those who say they had easy professors often also sought out those easy professors. GPA was more important to them than learning. Please take the time to update yours and your parents’ knowledge about CCCs.

You get from any school what you put into it. Prestige is not going to simply hand you a “better education.” It is my humble opinion that you do not belong at UCSC if you desire prestige. If you truly want to go to UCSD or UCB, then your best option is a CCC. You will have lower priority from another UC or from a CSU. If you go to a CCC, you can sign a TAG to be guaranteed admission to UCSD.
