<p>Just a thought to add. Perhaps it would be wiser for you to consider what schools you are interested in and why vs. which system you are interested in, given that you are eligible for both UC and CSU and finances allow either. In other words, I want to go to …CSLB because or I can see myself at UCSC because… Many of the CSU’s have nothing in common with each other except they are governed by the same board; focus on schools not systems not only to convince your parents but to make a good choice for you.</p>
