You should setup a new thread under College Search & Selection, you’ll get many more eyeballs than just the 2026 SLO forum. @lkg4answers is one of CC’s UC experts and can help you with your question. @Gumbymom is another UC expert.
I’d say pick the best location and fit and go with that college. Pomona being a CSU will be less expensive, if the cost variance matters to your family.
