A Parent's Perspective On My College List

<p>I would like you opinions on my schools. I just want to hear what others think of the colleges on my list and maybe I will have a clearer perspective on if the schools are really for me.</p>

<li>University of Miami</li>
<li>UC Santa Barbara</li>
<li>UC Los Angeles</li>
<li>University of Southern California</li>
<li>University of Wisconsin</li>
<li>UC San Diego</li>
<li>Pepperdine University</li>
<li>San Diego State University</li>
<li>University of Oregon</li>
</ol>

<p>How/why did you select these? What area of study? What are your strengths/weaknesses, GPA, Test Scores.</p>

<p>Good gracious! What is it, exactly, that you want.</p>

<p>You have several fun and sun schools on that list, including Miami and the S. California schools. Then, you've got Wisconsin, which is cold and booze soaked. And what the heck is Pepperdine doing on this list? It's a very religious school. The others are not.</p>

<p>A rather odd list. Perhaps there's some theme I'm missing?</p>
