[quote=an][quote=Coronita]UCSD when I was looking to apply to college was easy to get in decades ago. That isn’t the case anymore. If you have a kid that got into UCSD recently and you live in San Diego. Congrats….That itself was a difficult task.
SDSU is not a joke anymore either. Lots of really good programs out there.
My prediction is Cal State San Marcos is going to get a lot better. My money is San Marcos RE is going to do really well.
I would love it if my kid would be able to get into UCSD.[/quote]
SDSU is expanding to Mission Valley and UCSD is expanding downtown. Not only are they getting harder to get in and their academics is getting more and more competitive, they’re also growing physically by leaps and bounds.
Then there’s CSU San Marcos. I agree that it’ll get a lot better and more competitive, they’ll also have a lot of physical room to expand. San Diego as a region is changing. It’s no longer a sleepy beach town like it was 50 years ago.[/quote]
Agree with all this. Old timers dont see it happening because its happening slowly over time but the direction of this place is clear. We are grabbing market share in many disciplines. The universities in LA and Bay Area have no room to expand like we do down here. The big CSU and UC investments are happening right here. Its amazing to watch if you pay attention
