<p>Pat1120, thank you. I think visting will be the best way to slim down my list. I have been talking to my parents and we are seeing where we can fit some vistis into our schedule. USC, UCLA, and UCI will be easy since they are close to my home, and I could also throw in other schools nearby like Caltech, the Claremont Colleges, LMU, Chapman, and Pepperdine even though they aren’t on my list to just get on idea on what type of schools I prefer (and these schools are close enough I might as well).</p>
<p>They said we could definitely also do a trip up north to see UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCSB, Santa Clara, and some other schools and they are seriously considering a trip to the east coast since I am interested in some many schools there.</p>
