<p>I am applying to every UC campus except Riverside because I want to keep my options open. Is it true that this will hurt my chances to get into campuses such as Berkeley and UCLA?</p>
<p>No. (makes message longer so that it meets minimum character requirement)</p>
<p>Not at all. They actually recommend that you apply to at least four campuses. So why would they then hold that against you?
Each campus makes its own decision independently of the others.</p>
<p>They want you to apply to as many UCs as you can so they can profit your $55 application fee =p</p>
