<p>i'm hoping to be admitted to an ivy, but i need some good schools that are more in the safety/target range for me. I figure if i don't get into an ivy school I would want to go to california. i don't know many schools there, hoping someone could give me some insight. I want to be a finance major on a merit based scholarship. USC is the only school that is on my radar in this range, any others?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Florida is the sunshine state.</p>
<p>University of Florida, the state flagship, is a first tier college and has scholarships for NM scholars.</p>
<p>California is not the Sunshine State, California is California (and way better than Florida). :)</p>
<p>thats your opinion, and the sunshine state is florida/.</p>
<p>You want to go to an ivy and don't even know that the sunshine state is Florida. Wow. And I don't mean to be rude in any sense. I'm just amazed.</p>
<p>lol... that is pretty funny, even worse- i lived in california until i was 15
klf1120- sometimes i wonder about my 4.0 also, amazing</p>
<p>stykr you are absolutely right, california is the best state in the nation. i meant to say the golden state (although california could be thought of as the sunshine state also) </p>
<p>does anybody have some good target/safeties for california..the sunshine state ???</p>
<p>SDSU has a good business program and I'm sure you can get in there.</p>
