I did - in 1979. When it was $500/semester for everything including tuition, books, parking fees, health fees, etc. Tuition was about $250.

To SJSU, in fall 2003. I applied in August and was taking classes in September. Things have changed rather quickly.

I think that's about the only way in this year, unless you've got the grades. Hate to say it but this is good for the CSU system.

My daughter has guaranteed admission to at least one CSU and UC's.
Granted she doesn't necessarily get her choice for the UC's. She has good grades, she's smart.
CSU's and UC's are her backups in case she doesn't get into Harvard or Princeton.

My son started at San Diego State last year but is now at Mesa along with most of his friends who started at State. I don't think they were ready!

Why do you ask?

Harvard and Princeton are prestigious in terms of networking, but why not send her to a CSU or UC so she'll actually learn something?

Are you serious?
CSU educates you more than an Ivy League?
HA

When USA today came out with their school rankings something like 6 to 8 of the top 50 schools in the nation were UC/CSU(Poly) schools. The top public school in the nation is Berkeley, followed closely by UCLA. Cal Tech and Stanford are also high on the list. It's not like the education isn't great.

And as far as prestige, in my experience(as a CSU alum), local business gives a lot of respect to local grads.

As far as education, you learn more real information in JC than you do at a university. It's the way education is currently. JC's teach hands-on/vocational and direct more time towards your major, universities teach well-roundedness(through large GE workloads and required courses) and theory.

A friend did last year. She applied to 3 UC's. She wanted UC San Diego. However, at the time they had 40,000 applications and 4,000 openings. So, she didn't get accepted. She did get the nod for UC Santa Barbara which she loves very much.

Her tuition, books, room and board is running between $19,000 to $20,000 depending on rent. She was in dorms last year and IV this year.
