More challenging for a student who wants a more visible Black presence to not feel isolated. One definitely has to make an effort to seek out Black students at both campuses through BSUs, D9 organizations or Black-centric department organizations. I know that at UCSD in particular, relationships are built with San Diego State which has a larger Black population.
Participating in those early Black Admit events (I think they still do them?) is something I would highly recommend.
Thanks for your responseā¦ā¦ my daughter wanted a small school but the UCās for in state applicants are a great value compared to other top private schools that donāt offer merit. I feel it is worth considering!! Overall I feel my daughter will be fine at a school small or big and has primarily attended non diverse private schools to date.
D didnāt get in at Stanford or UCLA. She was accepted at Boston College but fell in love with Loyola Marymount where she was accepted in for film and TV production and got into their honors program.
We didnāt apply to any of the Ivies, but hoping the folks on this thread got some good news yesterday.
Ivy Day went well, we got 4/6; we didnāt apply to Dartmouth or Cornell. Didnāt get into Harvard or Yale.
Congratulations! Thatās great news! Iām guessing thereās a lot of decision-making to be done and perhaps a couple college visits in the next week or so. With so many good choices I donāt think you can really make a mistake.
Thank you! It was overwhelming process for him, but aid was a big factor and these schools meet need without loans.
UCs - he could have saved time, cause the little scholarships didnāt even put a real dent in the tuition.
Congratulations to you too
