UC Davis Class of 2028 Official Thread

[pathandpurpose]

Just an update to this thread - S24 SIR’d to UC Davis for Physics and declined the acceptances to UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly SLO.

Below was S24’s thought process shared on the 2024 Parent thread.

@pathandpurpose

S24 is leaning UC Davis (he’s been wearing the Physics club sweatshirt he bought at Aggie Day) over UC Santa Barbara even though UCSB has Nobel Laureates and renown graduate program. TBH we (my DH in particular) were definitely impressed with the UC Davis Physics department having guided tours of 3 labs and their building at Aggie Day, and bummed that the UCSB Physics building was locked during theirs. Cal Poly SLO is in the mix. While it is “too close” for S24, it is hard to let go since he’s met 1 on 1 with the Physics Dept Chair and another professor.
