<p>My daughter is a rising junior, and we are just starting the college search. She will likely have a 3.0 to 3.3 avg when it comes time to apply with waterpolo as her main EC and good to very good SATs. </p>
<p>Can anyone suggest some private schools for her in CA? We live in Orange County, and she doesn't want to be within an hour of home. She would prefer a school that is within 30 - 40 minutes of a major city. She is currently most interested in schools in the 2K - 15K undergrad range, and is not opposed to a Christian school. We are conservative, but I think she could hold her own in any environment. She does have ADHD, but will not likely need additional services (just hard work!)</p>
<p>Thank you for any ideas! Right now, we are just starting to look at University of San Franciso, Loyola Marymount (low reach) Pepperdine (reach) and Santa Clara University. </p>
<p>Definitely consider USD. Fantastic for business, see my other post. What about Occidental? or Azusa Pacific? I think Santa Clara is even harder to get into than LMU… Have you looked at Dominican U in San Rafael? It is really a beautiful place, great liberal arts, but I don’t know about business.</p>
<p>Definitely consider Saint Mary’s College of California in Moraga. Wonderful LAC with top notch business programs on a beautiful campus. PM me if you have questions.</p>
<p>I second LMU as well; Fabulous business, great access to LA, and another beautiful campus!</p>
<p>SCU is more difficult to get into than LMU and SMC</p>
