[color=#000000][font=georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif]Community colleges in California are what truly level the playing field. They empower students who wouldn't or couldn't jump through the often pricey hoops that game the high school admissions process; those trips to dig trenches in Nicaragua, those essay writing coaches etc. Two of my kids, both white males, got into Berkeley from a community college. A four-year stint is ideal but community colleges provide the next best alternative.[/font][/color]

Essentially, this is highly subjective, and the best is to aim for Berkeley and if not successful get into any other UC campus - Davis, Santa barabara, San Diego, or even the newest Merced.
P.S. To get into UCLA is sometimes even more difficult than into Berkeley (depending on the major).
