Well thank you for putting everything into perspective for me. I’d rather have honesty then false hope. Private universities may be expensive but I’m not going to disregard privates just because of that, I can figure out the expenses. I do want to go to med school as it has been a dream to be a doctor since I was 9. I have always done well in Science/Math classes, it’s the English /History based classes that really got to me. I know that with hard work I can get in somewhere, even if it’s not in California. I just want to stay in California for my undergrad.
I know San Marcos is a very different setting, thanks for the link!
