<p>Berkeley should be your first choice. We are the first research university in the state and the flag ship UC. This is particularly a beneficial school no matter where you end up.
USC is very prominent in the state of California and in other places throughout the nation. The fact some people say it’s unknown is not in touch with the real world, because USC has plenty of national appeal due to their football program. </p>
<p>UCLA is just a blah school. I recommend you read this controversial thread about UCLA. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/770864-deterioration-ucla.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/770864-deterioration-ucla.html</a></p>
