<p>I have a friend, in state CA resident, who could have gone to Davis. Instead going to BC at 4 times the tuition cost. ?!?! Don't get it. Sure BC has more cache, but that a lot of $ to pay for cache. Have other friends who turned down Davis, cause it's in Davis. Can't say I blame them. Who wants to smell hay and cow poop all day</p>

<p>Haha, that was funny. Go back to Boston and Have more tea parties. Oh was that a stupid stereotype too? My bad :D</p>
<p>Nothing surprises me anymore. Davis is a great school and my own D turned it down for the University of San Diego. Fortunately, she has very understanding parents, and a brother who did some interesting things like turning down MIT, Stanford, Cornell and Berkeley for UCLA. </p>
<p>We were prepared!</p>
<p>Ucla, Ucsb, Ucsc</p>
<p>Turned down UCI and UCSD for my environmental science major.</p>
<p>wow seems like lotsa ppl turned down la and sd for Davis. thta's pretty cool :)</p>
<p>I turned down UCSD, UCM w/ Regents, UCB, and some CSUs I randomly applied to. :)</p>
<p>i love how no one rfeally even mentions the csus they applied. just all say some csu's. haha it's like they're on a totally different level.</p>
<p>i turned down...</p>
<p>UCSD
UC Irvine
UC Santa Cruz
UOP (University of the Pacific)
Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>...go AGGIES!</p>
<p>Turned down...</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins
Carnegie-Mellon
Notre Dame
Pepperdine University
Northwestern U.
UCSD
UCSB
UC Berkeley
UCI
UCM
USC
UCLA</p>
<p>I had good reasons to reject the ones I did for facts of what it came down to in the end: whether I liked the locale, and the payment workings. Most of them didn't offer great enough locale (especially UCLA since I've been to that campus dozens and dozens of times) and especially tuition. For the really upper-class ones: let's just leave it at "because they really were for the upper class." Not worth paying so much for Undergraduate.</p>
<p>I admit I kind of fell onto my own bubble with the Ivy League ones, even though I had absolutely no way to pay for them (especially when you support yourself majorly). And the last thing that Suze Orman would want me to do (not that I watch her show), is stack up a ridiculous amount of loans for Undergrad. I don't think anyone does. </p>
<p>It came down to between UCSD (to which our valedictorian went) and UC Davis in the end. Great programs, (and I know some of you hate these adjectives) "laid back" and just feasible for me given the scholarships, etc. </p>
<p>That's it for me.</p>
<p>CptJack,</p>
<p>I too turned down Johns Hopkins for Davis. I live about 45 mins away from Davis and I want to be closer to my family and friends. I am also going to room with one of my classmates. Another important reason is because I received only 5k financial aid from JHU, whereas I received about 10k from Davis. I really hope I made the right decision.</p>
<p>I'm a physics major looking forward to apply to medical school.</p>
<p>Cool. Yeah man, that's great. I didn't get nearly 10k financial aid at Davis (at Johns Hopkins I got a good scholarship for above 12k+ but it just wasn't enough). As a Physiology major, I figured the feasible costs are less either way than paying so much for Undergrad in the end. Too bad I couldn't get more at Davis though.</p>
<p>Turned down Fresno State, UCSB, UCLA.</p>
<p>Back when I got admitted and accepted the admission, I turned down SLO, Irvine, LMU, Santa Clara, Gonzaga, and USF.</p>
<p>"i love how no one rfeally even mentions the csus they applied. just all say some csu's. haha it's like they're on a totally different level."</p>
<p>Thats because they AREEEE on a whole different level. THey are in FACT 2 whole tiers LOWER than the UC's.</p>
<p>just wanted to bump this topic up to see what colleges people nowadays turned down to go to davis 
I turned down:
Cal, UCSD, Irvine + honors, UCR w/ regents</p>
<p>Turned down:
- San Francisco State
- Cal Poly Pomona
- San Diego State
- UC Merced
- UC Riverside
- San Jose State</p>
<p>lol.</p>
<p>Turned down:
UC Berkeley
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz
San Francisco State
Humboldt State</p>
<p>Rejected from:
San Diego State (I probably deserved it since I grew up in SD and grew up calling it STDSU, but w/e…)</p>
<p>The only thing I didn’t like about Davis was the heat of the summers, but I’ll deal. I’m a French major, so rankings didn’t have a huge effect, but my mom is still ****ed off I turned down Cal even though I could try to go there for grad school. Davis was definitely the right pick for me, I’d like to be somewhere I’m sure I’d be happy rather than risk burning out; plus, my husband will probably be deployed sometime in the next year, and I really doubt I could hand super-competitiveness at Cal and that stress combined at the same time. Anyway, go Aggies!</p>
<p>Just UCSC. I didn’t get in to Berkeley, so…</p>
<p>Turned down:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UC Irvine</p>
<p>Didn’t apply to any other schools.</p>
<p>Can a person fall in love with a campus even though it was really hot the day they visited? </p>
<p>Yes <em>heheheh</em></p>
