<p>I suspect hurdlesrock is correct but I am hesitant to call any schools like CAL or UCLA a match given their ecletic admission process. What do you want to study, what kind of environment do you want to study in?</p>

<p>Although it is flattering that hurdlesrock said UCB and UCLA are matches, I would have to agree with you, Mr. B, that those schools aren't really a sure bet for anyone. I probably want to be studying something in history/social sciences. I am a very gregarious person and I love meeting new people, but I also am very serious about school. I would like a school that is a good balance of work and fun.</p>
