<p>UC's are really difficult to get in as internationals/OOS-ers. Plus they offer no financial aid. These colleges offer significant merit aid, so I think she has chosen well. I think you'll get into at least a couple with enough aid :). And also, throw in a couple of Ivies if you feel like gunning high. You'll never know unless you try...</p>
