<p>My senior son from the NE just came back from a week in southern California (1st time) vacationing with a family friend has fallen in love with California. Earlier in high school he talked a lot about applying to colleges in CA but dropped it. I certainly didn’t encourage it. Even though he has been accepted to 2 schools and awaiting responses in April from his 1st and 2nd choice schools, he is talking/dreaming about school in CA. Do any of the schools allow applications this late? I told him he could always write admissions a great letter with his desire and change of mind, and see what they say.</p>
<p>Wow..... It's REALLY late in the game, sorry about that. UC apps were due November 31st of last year.....The only colleges that would even have admissions still are very small LAC that are often in the middle of nowhere in CA......</p>
<p>St. Mary's College keeps sending me emails telling me to apply by March 1 and it's some priority application so no essays or anything...</p>
<p>Some CSUs are still accepting applications, where space is available, but forget about a UC campus at this late date.</p>
<p>Go to <a href="http://www.csumentor.edu/Filing_Status/default.asp%5B/url%5D">http://www.csumentor.edu/Filing_Status/default.asp</a> and input:</p>
<p>Select a level: Undergraduate
Enrollment term: Fall 2006</p>
<p>I can't figure out how to copy & paste the results into a CC message, and don't know of any website that provides info about private / independent schools...</p>
<p>Thanks. I will let him know he should just forget about it. Hopefully it is just a case of coming back to the cold of winter and over time his desire will fade. If not, he can always transfer. I appreciate your responses.</p>

<p>All others are closed !!!</p>
<p>Yeah.. the admission decisions are about to come out soon. However, a pretty common argument is that UCs are not worth it for out-of-staters because of the value to price ratio.</p>
<p>yeah but the UC's have such a good reputation out of state, even down here in CT people think really highly of them.</p>
<p>Jlime: Oh? I guess you haven't seen threads about how overrated UCs are, not very well known on the east coast, etc.</p>
<p>UCLA and Berkeley are very well known and even some people have heard of UCSD. Maybe its just because I live less than an hour from NYC so alot of adults work there so they probably know more about colleges than other people.</p>
