[quote=no_such_reality]My kid is five. I’m not sure I want my kid to go to the UC system as it is today.

It’s because of how insanely competitive admission has become. . . .[/quote]NSR, have you considered making plans for getting your kid situated out-of-state (relative’s houses, etc) for purposes of university attendance when the time comes? What are you leaning towards counseling your kid to do after HS?
