Doesn’t want to go to a CSU? My son, who had the stats to go anywhere, chose to go to Cal Poly from out of state. He could have gone to Berkeley, but he didn’t even apply. Why? He didn’t want the gigantic classes with labs and discussions taught by TAs. Cal Poly, the CSU, not the UC, was a far better choice for him. She should dig deeper into some of the CSUs rather than following the oft wrong dogma that the UCs are all that.
I’d also second looking at the WUE schools. Good luck.
