<p>Haha, yeah, I think he is a UCLA student…I encountered him on the UCLA board; not sure why he’s here unless maybe he’s a UCLA/USC hopeful rather than enrolled yet…but anyway, hello again, binks! SDSU is close to where I live; it’s my safety school; one of my family members goes there; it’s actually more selective than some might think; and if I didn’t get into any of the other schools, I could at least go to SDSU for a year and try to transfer. :)</p>
<p>Eiffel, SDSU was DS’s safety too along with UCSB and SLO. He has similar stats to yours – just stronger in tests, weaker in GPA. He didn’t apply outside CA but did get accepted to USC, UCLA & Berkeley, ultimately choosing USC (and loving it, btw).</p>
<p>You’re looking good! I don’t know specifics of Cinematic Arts, other than it’s competitive. Polish up those essays and your portfolio. So is your HS High Tech or SCPA?</p>
<p>Thanks so much, SoCalGal, and congrats to your son for getting accepted into all those great schools! And actually, I go to Steele Canyon Charter High School. :)</p>
