<p>I am a freshmen CHPer at UCI myself, and I know a girl who is a bio major in CHP at UCI with a Regents who turned down UCLA honors. She said that she just felt like she’d get more personalized treatment and felt really wanted here, and of course the money was an important factor. I can’t put down the UCLA program though cause I don’t know much about it. Anyways, she likes it here and I really don’t think she’d say she isn’t being challenged at UCI. CHPers are pretty much all at the very top of their HS class. I live in one of the honors dorms and we have 5-6 valedictorians (that I know about) in a 51 person hall.</p>
