Guaranteed admission to a UC isn't what people think. I doubt you Harrier, I seriously do. I and I know you wouldn't have lasted a semester if you did.
Only Berkeley and Merced operate on the semester system.
Why anyone would want to attend a university in Northern California is beyond me.

Well you didn't apply, you wouldn't waste money on a liberal education system. Why lie?
All of us in CA with college aged kids, and who attended college here ourselves, are familiar with the UC transfer programs. Quarter, semester, whatever. They are not right for everyone, not even the best at all things, but they are good. Not for you...too liberal...so why pretend you were all set to go but turned them down? You mean you didn't pursue that particular path. Many don't, not because they are "too liberal" but because they have other ideas.
I already said that I turned UC down because it was too liberal.
12 grade level since elementary school? Did you regress or something? You do realise "get into" means "accepted". I didn't say, "What University of California campus do you GO TO?". University of California is not a singular school; there are a lot of campuses e.g. Berkeley, Irvine, UCLA, Santa Cruz, San Diego, etc.
Let's try this again...
Which University of California campus did you get into again?
The U of Cs are public schools anyway where a LOT of people get in. Some of them may be prestigious, but they accept a lot of people. I wouldn't exactly be using that as some evidence that you're educated. You're not the only person who can play that game I turned down all the U of Cs, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, Michigan, and 100 other universities. I guess that somehow makes my opinions relevant.
I never said our public education system is by any means quality, but at least theyre teaching facts.
Ive had college courses with biology majors who refuse to accept evolution, its an embarassment.[/quote]
Why an embarassment?
I don't disbelieve in evolution, but let's face it most scientists look for proof. There is no proof of evolution, at least not to the extent of "man came from monkey" evolution. hundreds (of thousands, probably) of archeoligist digs go on every single year looking for the ever elusive "missing link" yet even though evolution would dictate that there were thousands of generations over the course of millions of years of transition between different animals into human form, they can't find one piece of evidence?
Again, I don't discredit the theory, but it's still a theory and to accept it is hardly an embarassment.
For people who demand proof, the quasi scientists of CD seem to have lots of faith when they need it.
According to these folks, all that presently exists came from nothing and the reason why it emerged from nothing is just because.
Well you didn't apply, you wouldn't waste money on a liberal education system. Why lie?
I didn't lie.
I specificaly said above that I did not apply to the 3 UC's who would have accepted me because I didn't want to be in a liberal educational environment.
Of course you can! You just have to get his/her consent. That cat is a bit fluffy anyway.
