<p>does ucsc usually do well on letting you get your first choice out of the 10 colleges or do they usually fill up?</p>
<p>You have a 90% chance of getting into one of your top 3. As for your #1, it depends on which college it is. Cowell/Stevenson are very popular, for instance. :(</p>

<p>How popular is Crown?</p>
<p>I sort of don’t want Crown at the same. I don’t like the stereotypes it has. But I absolutely need colleagues that are studying difficult majors, to sort of to inspire me to work harder. I’ve been pretty lazy for all four years of high school…</p>
<p>It’s also nice to have people with similar majors be around you.</p>
<p>Not terribly popular. I know a handful of people who got pushed to Merrill (2nd choice) instead of Crown. But one person who appealed that decision got into Crown, so make of that what you will.</p>
<p>My dorm in Crown freshmen year didn’t fit the stereotypes at all. My entire floor was full of “normal” people who just happened to be studying bioengineering/electrical engineering/etc. Many of them played video games, or enjoyed -other nerdy hobby-, but they were just as interested in playing basketball or hosting Scrubs marathons. The only time you’ll fall into the stereotype pit is if you room in the gaming themed house.</p>
