Ok - so the UC system did not have “an unbelievably low rate of “diversity” + overcrowding + disgruntled students and professors” prior to your daughter applying? Despite these “flaws” she applied anyway and based on your post would have attended if not for the fortunate “throw of the dice” and acceptance at Stanford & Harvard. Isn’t it convenient that NOW you can claim the lack of diversity us WHY your daughter chose not to attend one of the UCs?

<p>@nil, when I first read the comment above, which was posted by aglages, I wrote out a long post to explain why my D “applied anyway” to the UCs in question, even though they were no longer her favorites. In my explanation, I included reference to the fact that the UC application was due *long *before she could have known that she would be *accepted *to all of her favorites and long before she could have known if we would be able to *afford *her favorites. And, I believe I also mentioned that I thought it odd that Mr. or Ms. aglages thought that it was so unbelievable that anyone could possibly consider choosing UCLA or UC Berkeley over any other top ranked school. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>But, then I stopped, erased what I had written and did not post it. It is clear to me, nil, that no matter what you, I or any other poster on this forum writes, aglages has already made up his/her mind on this issue. And, you know what, that’s fine! Let it be. I’m afraid you are trying to roll an extremely large boulder up an extremely steep hill.</p>

<p>Let it be. Don’t feed her/ his ego by spending your valuable time responding. Just let it be. I, for one, am done.</p>
