Hey why was like the only school that got a comment my school and it was on how much it sucks?

You need to factor in that some schools, mine for example, reject people simply because there isn't enough space unfortunately...

I would like to point out that the information provided in this list is based solely on the percentage of applicants admitted, which may not accurately represent the overall quality or reputation of a college. Other factors such as graduation rates, faculty-to-student ratio, and job placement after graduation should also be considered when evaluating a college. Additionally, it would be helpful to have more information and sources to support the facts listed, as well as a more diverse range of colleges included in the list. It is also important to note that there are many other reputable colleges in California that are not mentioned here. Further research and consideration should be done before making decisions about college admissions.
