@DStory247 - I'm considering UC Riverside. Planning to take a trip out there in a few weeks to check out the area and the school. I'd love for more locals to chime in.
failsafe: I haven't heard from the Lark yet. I was a finalist for BAPF last year and received my initial email from them on March 4. Found out I didn't make the final cut on April 21.
Did anyone apply to UCLA? I understand that they typically interview finalists around this time (from the sparse information I've been able to squeeze out of the internet).
