<p>Good choices there. Since you’re in-state, I’d apply to Berkeley and/or UCLA, as well as UCSD, UCD/UCI/UCSB and a CSU for a safety.</p>

<p>You can submit one app for the UCs, give yourself some potentially good options and add some peace of mind.</p>

<p>Maybe you can get into Fordham honors.</p>
