    My daughter is just a junior but she is looking at colleges. She has been pretty interested in Cal Poly san luis obispo because of their engineering program and she likes UC San Diego. She has even been checking out the Air Force Academy in Colorado, it only has a 10percent acceptance rate though and its a ten year committment.

    She is completely stressed out about it, and of course whichever college she chooses has to have a good dive program.

    You have one of the best colleges in your backyard, have you looked at UC Berekely? Knowing you I am sure you have

    Mom was hoping for UC Davis, she could live at home but they don't have much of an engineering program.

    I went to one semester off college this past fall and basically my depression got the worst it's ever been, so I got out asap and now I'm somewhere where I am actually happy, every day. I didn't know that was even possible!

    Oh, of course! I applied, but Berkeley's decisions don't come out until March 26th.

    I did, however, get my decisions for the other UC's. So far, I'm in UC Davis, UCSD, and UCLA. I'm very happy, but I'm really waiting for my private schools.

    If you go to UC Davis I can come visit you its only 30 minutes from my house.

    Good luck I know you will get accepted wherever you want.

    I'm the mom of a college bound student. My daughter is graduating from high school this year and she applied to two universities here in SC and was accepted to both. She is going to her first choice, Clemson University. She will be studying Graphic Communications. I am so proud of her.
    Good luck to you, Giselle! I know a lot of the colleges don't send their acceptance letters until later in the spring. The waiting is so hard.

    I am still finding it hard to beleive that I have under two months left of high school. Its exciting. :-)

    I have been accepted (with full tuition payed for) to the college of my choice. My ACT score saved my bum on that one! I still have my fingers crossed that I will get a grant to pay for my books and fees... it would be marvelous to have a free ride.

    Good luck to everyone else headed off to college!
    What is everyone planning on majoring in?

    Oyster, it depends which college you're talking about for my majors

    UC Davis: Animal Science.
    UCSD: Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior (basically, biology + behavior).
    UCLA: same as UCSD. So, basically, biology and behavior.

    All similar majors for the rest of the colleges that I'm waiting for: Animal Science, if the college offers it, or biology+behavior. I'm trying to get into vet school (and then hopefully become a board-certified veterinary behaviorist), so that's why.

    Still waiting for March 31st! Eeekk!!
