<p>There's probably some stuff I forgot. I'm out of state, from Pennsylvania. Thanks!</p>

<p>CA dad here. I hope someone knowledgeable will help you out on this question. I am just curious why you would be so interested in UCSD program being out of state and there are so many wonderful programs in east coast.</p>

<p>I can’t take any more of the cold and inland location. Going to high school in PA has been the most miserable experience and I think I would break if I had to stay in the region after I graduate</p>
