Holy shit she got into Berkeley! We bawled our eyes out. Waiting on UCLA, and UCSD. I have no idea how we are paying for this but she is happier than I have seen her in a year and for that I am grateful.

1. Nice selection!

I take it she wants to live in California? (UCLA alum here...)

[ChubbyStar]

8. We live in the SF Bay Area now

She is a Callie girl.

[intrepidity]

9. I figured! Lol

What is her order of preference?

[ChubbyStar]

10. UCLA, Berkeley then the rest! LOL

We will find out in the next day or so.

[intrepidity]

11. Will she live on campus? nt

[ChubbyStar]

12. I'm pretty sure she would live in a shoe if she had to

She is a transferring Junior so I think she will be an off campus student.

16. Personally I'd choose Berkeley over UCLA.

After living in CA for 20+ years I like N CA *much* better than S CA.

[ChubbyStar]

24. She got accepted to Berkeley today!

We currently live in N CA and I want to keep her as close to home as possible.

2. Baby blm is 20 now, but, I am still happiest when

I see joy on her face.

[ChubbyStar]

4. baby Chubby (and she would shit if she read that!!) will be 20 next month

And I feel the same way. To see that beauty light up like a Christmas Tree is my greatest accomplishment.

3. Congrats - I understand it is difficult to get into the UC schools

They are some of the finest public universities in the world. In my state it is fairly easy to get into any program at our flagship universities (with the exception of Nursing).

I wonder if I would have gone to one of the UC schools if I had stayed in California. My family left after 9th grade, and I ultimately ended up going to Purdue (after high school in Mississippi).

[ChubbyStar]

13. Thanks

Purdue is a damn fine University, my sister is a grad.

14. UCB and UCLA are the really tough ones to get into

My son was rejected at UCB, but accepted at UCLA. UCB has a 16.3% acceptance rate, UCLA is 12.3%. Go figure


UCI - 26.5%
UCSB - 29.6%
UCD - 38.9%
UCSD - 48.7%
UCSC - 51.3%

5. Congratulations!

Good to have lots of choices!

6. Good deal!

I'm happy for her! My wife got her Doctorate at UCLA many years ago and she loved it. Our oldest girl just got married in March in Santa Barbara and we actually drove through the campus one day. My! What a beautiful place! Tell her congrats and good luck!

17. Congrats!

18. CA native here and UCLA Alum - born and raised in LA and then moved to Nor Cal where I lived for

for over 30 years. Your daughter will love the UC system - good education and good place to meet diverse from from all over the country and the world.

19. UC Santa Barbara is an excellent University.

Tell her CONGRATULATIONS!!!GOOD WORK...

Have her check her Major tracks carefully.

I picked UCSB over UCLA, way back when, because they had a Physical Anthropology track all laid
out and in UCLA I would have had to develop one, from within the whole Anthropology Department.

Saved us money for sure.

20. Grew up in Davis - UCD is a nice campus (graduated from there myself)

Congratulations!!

[myccrider]

21. Congratulations to her...and the parents!

[ChubbyStar]

23. Daddy or as we call him shit dog the homewrecker

abandoned us when she was 5. This was her and me baby.

[myccrider]

25. Ok, congratulate *the* parent even more!

I raised my son alone from 5 to 18, too.

[MissB]

22. Congrats!

I’m thrilled for her! Hopefully you’ll have some idea on how to pay for it before decision day.

We are going to watch my youngest graduate from his university next week. He’s getting his BS in mechanical engineering.

26. Walking to and from classes at Berkeley is a good cardio workout.

Then you can take BART to the City and get even more exercise walking up and down hills.

Oh, it's one of the world's great universities as well.

Congratulations to your daughter!

[Demovictory9]

27. wow... congrats

[mnhtnbb]

28. Congratulations to your daughter!

I did both my BS and MPH at UCLA from 1969-1975. It was a marvelous experience. It's a BIG campus and a long walk from one end to the other. I lived on campus in a dorm, then in a sorority house adjacent to campus, and finally off campus in an apartment after I was married.

Wherever she decides to go, she'll get an excellent education at any of the UC schools.

Well done, both of you!
