<p>Out of the schools: UCLA,UCSD, UCI, UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, UCSC, and SDSU</p>
<p>I want to live in the San Diego area after graduation and I want to major in business (marketing or accounting), or maybe psychology.
I want to go to a school with a good sports program and a school with school spirit.
I also want perfect weather (70 degrees year round), and for it to be close to the beach.
I want to go to a school with a good social life (party rep is fine with me).
I want to go to a laid back school where not everyone is competing for the highest grade in the class.</p>
<p>Opinions appreciated!!!!</p>
<p>seriously- if those are your only factors in considering a college you need to shift your thinking a bit. which ones are in your reach? is money a factor? SDSU is pretty but if you can go to a UC i would hope that the san diego area doesnt win you over. uc irvine and san diego don't have much of a social scene and less of a friendly atmospere than davis or santa cruz. ucla is INCREDIBLY hard to get into (people with 4.4's and higher who got into the ivy league got rejected). check out ucsb and davis (it really is an awesome place). and ucsc if you dont mind an extremely liberal student body.</p>
<p>To answer some of your questions....All of those schools are similiar in cost so that is not the problem. Well I'm only a sophomore, but I'm almost sure of what my UC GPA will be, the possible range is (3.83-4.08) but i know what the difficulties are and what my abilities are so i'm pretty sure i'll have a 4.0 or a 3.92...and i got a 1860 on my psat so im guessing my sat's will be around 1900-2000
So i have a chance at UCLA and UCSD, and I think SB, D, Cal Poly, and I, are matches, while SC and SDSU are safeties. And some other factors are overall feel of the campus, academics, prestige, and FOOD!!!</p>
