I mean, do you really need help to get into UCLA? I'm not suggesting it's cupcake, but it's not as difficult as getting into the Ivys, Stanford, or Duke. If a school’s admission rate is below 20% then yes... a lot of people are going to need some help.

UCLA and Cal are really hard to get into......... harder than Stanford and Duke..........the reason is the tuition. They are absolutely not more difficult to get into. Both are great schools. No need to lie. But they are not harder to get into than Stanford or Duke or the Ivy's.

Agree UCLA is tough to get into, but not tougher than schools you mentioned.

Stanford and Duke wanted me........no go on Cal or UCLA What's your point? Ad hominem stories do not equate to a trend. Not to mention, I am guessing that was quite a while ago, so hold very little relevance.

And then within a year she was married to someone else. As she told me, "I guess I just wasn't ready to get married *to* *him*."

UCLA and Cal are really hard to get into......... harder than Stanford and Duke..........the reason is the tuition. This is simply not true, although Cal (my alma mater) and UCLA are certainly very selective. Also, Duke sucks. Which has nothing to do with this conversation, I just like saying it.

At MIT we did not consider "the Harvard of the South" to be a complimentary nickname.

Not to mention, I am guessing that was quite a while ago, so hold very little relevance. College Admissions can be weird. I got into USC but LMU was giving me a very hard time, requesting senior grades and extra information when I already thought I was well qualified.

I'm still waiting for my $1.10 VT "french toast" stimulus check.

My sister petitioned to get into Cal after being denied.
