I was going to apply there but I don't have the grades or test scores to get in it's very hard to get in and it's a great school located next to the beach in sunny southern Cal so if you decide to go there you'll have a great time

Good school. Very, very nice campus. It's located on the cliffs over looking La Jolla--one of the nicest and wealthiest communities in all of San Diego. It is NOT on the beach. Great bio-med, one of the best oceanography universities in the country and very strong engineering programs. These are represented by the corner stone UCSD med cntr, Salk Inst, Scripps Inst of Oceanography and Jacobs sch of engineering. People: students are competitive. UCSD tends not to be a big party school. Community: very upscale towards the west (beach) and young and yuppie toward the east (UTC--univ town cntr).

I got into there a week or so ago, and i dont think i want to go there because it sounds really boring. i would rather go to davis or ucsb, even though its not as highly ranked. my cousin goes there and says theres not much of a social life, which i have heard from a lot of ppl. i visited the campus, and its not that nice. but i dunno, maybe if its strong in your major...?

Would San Diego State University be better for me?
So i'm not going to do any expensive schools but i want to be in southern california for school. I'm interested in dentistry and though San Diego state doesn't have a "pre-denta" program, there is still biology and i'm going to transfer to med school after anyways so would sdsu be a exceptional school?

UCSD is a competitive school. But it seems like you are in the house with your grades and your activities.
2
It's becoming increasingly hard to get into UCSD. After Berkeley and UCLA, SD got more applications than any other UC. Your grades are pretty good, especially considering your difficult course load. But your extra-curriculars could use some work. Try to take on some leadership roles in the clubs you belong to. . . or at the very least, be an active member rather than someone who just shows up for meetings so you can put it on your transcript. And why wait till next year to start that club? Volunteering would also look good, but don't do these things just for your college application. . . do them because you want to be an active member of the world and explore all that is out there to explore. Your SAT scores will also play a large role in your admissions decision. Good luck!

What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
I currently attend the Art Institute Of California San Diego for Animation (am about halfway through) and have unfortunately realized only now that this school is beyond deplorable. I have also realized that what I love even more than art and animation is acting, specfically, voice acting. Now, I have a strong background in animation and fine art at this point, but it could also use some honing. Basically, my question is this: what schools in the San Diego area offer very good theatre programs/majors as well as a good Fine Arts program (for me to possibly minor in)?

First of all theatre programs do not teach acting well. You really should be choosing a professional school like LA Film School for animation and acting. Art and academics is a poor mix.

What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
We're moving to San Diego from Nashville next summer and I want to get a head start on finding a good area with great schools and a family friendly environment. We're middle class in TN, so i'm not sure what that equates to in California (poor? LOL), but our main goal is to have a great school system....

This is probably a more subjective question, as different people have different ideas about what is good and family-friendly. Generally speaking, the best schools and safe and 'family-friendly' neighborhoods will be found in the north end of the city -- Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Tierrsanta, Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights. Not coincidentally, these are also some of the most expensive neighborhoods, in terms of real estate values -- but you get what you pay for.
2
I like La Mesa, it's got great schools and the housing market isn't extremely expensive like some neighborhoods. Good luck!
3
You should look at Poway, which is going to be the most affordable area among the best school districts. It's more conservative than Del Mar/Carmel Valley or Solana Beach, which are the other top school districts. Carlsbad comes next.
4
I relocated from Michigan and asked the same question on Yahoo Answer. I live in Rancho Penasquitos so I have a bias. I had the same desire for good schools. I have a much much smaller house but I didn't want to spend my life's saving on a great house with sub-par schools. Check out GreatSchools.net See how your school ranks now (or the schools in the area you live in) and compare it to other schools. Lesson 1- San Diego is very big place. When people talk about Scripps or Rancho Penasquitos they are talking about areas of the city itself that kinda have their own identity. Lesson 2- There are a lot of rich people out here. So when someone tells you "these are the best schools" check the housing prices in the area. I would sign up with Zip Reality or another site. Check out each area then type in the zip to see if you can afford to live there. A person with 2 Million to spend has a different idea of a good school then a person with 500,000. People have been steering you to some great middle class areas that are know for great schools. My husband works in La Jolla when I first looked at La Jolla prices I cried. Literally cried. Then my Mom said "you don't live in La Jolla honey" oh. Lesson 3 -With gas at $4.65 find out if you can where people in your household are going to work and of course see if you can live nearby. I personally checked out the Poway Unified School district. I looked in surrounded areas. To us it came down to price, schools, and what our idea of a house is. Is a condo a house? Do we need grass? Also our home in one income but we had my husband ask around at work where people lived. Sometimes it was areas where we would have to be a two income family. Sometimes people who relocated told him where they were and what they didn't like about it. a huge help. Like I knew I was alright with living farther from the ocean and my husband having a shorter commute. Lesson 4- People in CA rent. I found that really strange. In Michigan those people who rent are the ones who can't afford houses. (for the most part) Here I think people rent for lots of reasons including the housing market. So you may want to check that out. I think a rental agent cost a couple hundred dollars. But you can do it on your own too. Rental homes in awesome areas not at all what I pictured. We bought and our house price dropped a lot. But I couldn't find a rental to save my life when we looked. They say now is a great time to buy but I heard that too. How long do you plan on being here? Lesson 5- You are going to love it here. I miss my family but it really is a very open friendly city. It was a bit of a culture shock. CA is a little different. But it is a very cool laid back family friendly place. Good Luck

People who don't know the history will probably answer this question by saying that they are getting UCSD mixed up with SDSU. However, UCSD at one time was considered a party school but that was decades ago. UCSD is now known for its engineering and medical schools among others and its propensity to attract top students from California as well as all over the place.

UCSD's parties consists of asian girls who act white and if youre lucky you will run into the white girls all wearing forever 21 clothes. yeah they might have little parties consist of people at a townhouse.. nothing too wild.. and i swear you will hear at least 2 conversations about school or their professor.. but just like everyone else on here..

You would probably have more luck in Hollywood or somewhere in LA because it would be easier to be "discovered." But it is possible, look at my american heart like you mentioned among several other bands.

it would be easier to break into the music scene in San Diego vs LA. There are so many students, so lots of student bars often with open mike nights and live bands playing. Also cool small venues like The Casbah, Belly Up in Solana Beach, etc where you can work your way up to playing.

University of California at San Diego Question!?
University of California at San Diego Question!?
I want so badly to get into UCSD[University of California in San Diego], specifically Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I want to be a marine biologist. I'm a freshman now, and I know that freshman grades don't really count at UCSD, only sophomore and junior grades. I go to a private school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and get good grades. I had only 2 B's last semester, but they were in Pre AP classes. I plan on taking all the AP classes I can the rest of my high school year. Here's my question: What classes would you recommend I take in order to get into UCSD and what grades? Also, do you think I still have a pretty good chance even though I don't live in California? I'm planning on taking two science classes a year

Different Universities have different requirement. the one that you like is science, i suggest, get a science course and study hard. Get As. Don't get B. It's disqualifying. Hope this will help you. PS: if you are non californian resident, expensive. I tried at UC Berkley, $70,000 for foreigners and non californian resident

Just because I wont be going with an exchange program I'd be staying with family. Any details are appreciated, I'm curious! Thanks!

I went to Poway High School in california, in san diego county. The semester starts and ends the same time as any other school in the country, the exact day might be a little different but they all start sometime in september and end some time in late may/early july. From what I've seen there usually aren't cafeterias per se in high schools. they usually have lunch carts that you can buy overpriced crappy food from (at least that's how it was at my school and all the others in my district). The school's really aren't that great in California. I'd seriously consider going there to study if you really want to learn anything. If you're just going for the experience, well, you will definitely get to experience the superficial, shallow american lifestyle in California. But be prepared to not learn anything, I know I didn't learn a goddamned thing in high school, and I passed with a 3.2 average. Basically, those schools are designed so even the retarded kids can pass the same classes as everyone else (i.e. they dumb down all the class so the stupid kids can pass).
Hi, I live in Sydney Australia and am in year ten and considering six months exchange next year in San Diego, California. Can anyone (preferably teens and students or their parents) tell me what the local high school/s are like, eg. when terms begin and end, whats the deal with cafeterias, etc? Just because I wont be going with an exchange program I'd be staying with family. Any details are appreciated, I'm curious! Thanks!

No, it does not require two years of language or any art. they don't require anything unless if you want to major in game art they require a portfolio i know that as a fact, i was very stuck on going to AI San Diego, and didn't listen to people who told me other wise until the very last minute, but i suggest you think a little about going to a two year and transferring.. California does has a great transfer system (automatic guarantee if you keep decent/good grades) and you make an art portfolio as you take art classes. (and it would look better on a resume than a propriety *for profit* school. do the best you can do for you, you still have time; your only in high school, and if money is not a problem aim bigger for a private school that is respected ( Otis college of design? ) i bet it may even cost less! if you have not already, collegeboard.com is a great website, they have a search engine that looks up schools for you, it's really fun and incredibly helpful. sorry if i burst your bubble, but i was going to be $130,000 in debt if i went! (that is cheap living included ) cheers to you if you don't have to take out loans, but alas, it will be your decision and good luck with what ever you do. i know the charm that school has A lot can happen form here and now! ( a recession happened to me!)

Academically, UC San Diego has a somewhat stronger reputation, especially in the physical sciences. The University of Colorado is probably a little better socially, and it is a pretty good school, so it all depends on what you are looking for.
2
My brother went to CU-Boulder and loved it. He did it ALL there. Undergrad, Masters, and he received his Ph.d on March 13, 2006 in mechanical engineering.
3
Mostly equal, SDU is a nicer area/climate.
4
they are both good schoool, no doubt. though i am a huge CSU - Fort Collins fan and hate the CU buff's Colorado is a really good school. It has a good rep. for vets. So if you want to be a vet that is a good school to go to & alameda east (that ER vet place on animal planet a lot, is in colorado.. Plus Colroado is a GREAT state! not that california isn't, but i lived in CO most of my life, and i loved it. I dont know much about U of California but I here it's a great school. It's more of your opinion and what you want to do for a living and where you would rather live, Snowy Colorado or Sunny California.
5
although i am not familiar with university of colorado, i know that ucsd is an amazing school. it is a beautiful campus in a great location with alot of esteemed professors. it was my first choice for school but i did not get in and went to uc irvine instead. the main thing would be to think about what you are going to major in and choose the school that has the better reputation for that academic field. also, depending on which state you live in will determine how much your tuition is, if that is an issue for you. if you live in california, ucsd will cost you substantially less and vice versa for colorado.

Why go to Bolder when you can go to sunny San Diego? There is no place like San Diego. The place is such a blast. Wish I'd gone to undergrad there.

How much is a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in San Diego, California?
It was 3 in the morning. There was no one on the street so I just paused and then went. Wtf. I got a speeding ticket a month earlier for $500. How much is this one going to be?? Also it said Im not eligible for traffic school for my speeding ticket and it was the first ticket I ever got. :( So how much is the ticket going to be, and will I be able to get traffic school for THIS one. I dont even know how much my insurance is going to go up for my first ticket. Im still a student so I have no idea how Im going to pay for all this...

Ca CVC 22450 - Failure to stop at a stop sign - $138 base fine + applicable gov fees and surcharges. For more serious violations, one is not eligible for traffic.
3
The courts website normally has the court fees on it. Call the courts and ask if you make take a class. Your insurance will only go up for 1 ticket if you take a class for the other ticket removal
4
To get a fine that high for speeding, you were going at least 26 mph over the speed limit. Traffic school is not generally offered automatically when speed is more than 25 mph over the limit, although the court can order it if you ask. However, you can certainly use traffic school to avoid the conviction on the stop sign charge. Although a court can order traffic school for two citations issued within 18 months, I doubt that this would be likely when they are this close together, so you would only get rid of one, anyway. I am afraid Ben is way off on the fine. The scheduled fine for violating Veh C 22450(a) is $146+65 for a total of $211. Your fine should be close to that. Traffic school can cost up to $50 more, plus the cost of the school.

If you're going to be too picky, then you're not going to find anywhere.

Anyways, about finding out where it's at, I suggest you make an account at www.monster.com and try and find a fashion design school on there. Good Luck.

Academy of Art University is a very prestigious art school if you want to go into the clothing design field. San Francisco Art Institute is very famous too and my friend is in the fashion design field and she loves it. She just got a job designing for GAP.

Is it hard to change majors? because I'm not sure about my major yet. Also, are there buses that go up to san francisco from san diego? because the airplane tickets to there are kinda expensive.

Good school. Very, very nice campus. It's located on the cliffs over looking La Jolla--one of the nicest and wealthiest communities in all of San Diego. It is NOT on the beach. Great bio-med, one of the best oceanography universities in the country and very strong engineering programs. These are represented by the corner stone UCSD med cntr, Salk Inst, Scripps Inst of Oceanography and Jacobs sch of engineering. People: students are competitive. UCSD tends not to be a big party school. Community: very upscale towards the west (beach) and young and yuppie toward the east (UTC--univ town cntr).

UCSD is a competitive school. But it seems like you are in the house with your grades and your activities.

It's becoming increasingly hard to get into UCSD. After Berkeley and UCLA, SD got more applications than any other UC. Your grades are pretty good, especially considering your difficult course load. But your extra-curriculars could use some work. Try to take on some leadership roles in the clubs you belong to. . . or at the very least, be an active member rather than someone who just shows up for meetings so you can put it on your transcript. And why wait till next year to start that club? Volunteering would also look good, but don't do these things just for your college application. . . do them because you want to be an active member of the world and explore all that is out there to explore. Your SAT scores will also play a large role in your admissions decision. Good luck!
is it a hard school to get into? im a sophomore and i dont have that great of a GPA. right now i have a 3.85 weighted and im taking AP euro, chem, accounting, english 2 honors, pre-calc, and spanish 2 honors. im in csf and fbla for now. but i plan to make a club next year.

UCSD is a competitive school. But it seems like you are in the house with your grades and your activities.

What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
I currently attend the Art Institute Of California San Diego for Animation (am about halfway through) and have unfortunately realized only now that this school is beyond deplorable. I have also realized that what I love even more than art and animation is acting, specfically, voice acting. Now, I have a strong background in animation and fine art at this point, but it could also use some honing. Basically, my question is this: what schools in the San Diego area offer very good theatre programs/majors as well as a good Fine Arts program (for me to possibly minor in)?

First of all theatre programs do not teach acting well. You really should be choosing a professional school like LA Film School for animation and acting. Art and academics is a poor mix.

What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
We're moving to San Diego from Nashville next summer and I want to get a head start on finding a good area with great schools and a family friendly environment. We're middle class in TN, so i'm not sure what that equates to in California (poor? LOL), but our main goal is to have a great school system....

This is probably a more subjective question, as different people have different ideas about what is good and family-friendly. Generally speaking, the best schools and safe and 'family-friendly' neighborhoods will be found in the north end of the city -- Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Tierrsanta, Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights. Not coincidentally, these are also some of the most expensive neighborhoods, in terms of real estate values -- but you get what you pay for.
2
I like La Mesa, it's got great schools and the housing market isn't extremely expensive like some neighborhoods. Good luck!
3
You should look at Poway, which is going to be the most affordable area among the best school districts. It's more conservative than Del Mar/Carmel Valley or Solana Beach, which are the other top school districts. Carlsbad comes next.
4
I relocated from Michigan and asked the same question on Yahoo Answer. I live in Rancho Penasquitos so I have a bias. I had the same desire for good schools. I have a much much smaller house but I didn't want to spend my life's saving on a great house with sub-par schools. Check out GreatSchools.net See how your school ranks now (or the schools in the area you live in) and compare it to other schools. Lesson 1- San Diego is very big place. When people talk about Scripps or Rancho Penasquitos they are talking about areas of the city itself that kinda have their own identity. Lesson 2- There are a lot of rich people out here. So when someone tells you "these are the best schools" check the housing prices in the area. I would sign up with Zip Reality or another site. Check out each area then type in the zip to see if you can afford to live there. A person with 2 Million to spend has a different idea of a good school then a person with 500,000. People have been steering you to some great middle class areas that are know for great schools. My husband works in La Jolla when I first looked at La Jolla prices I cried. Literally cried. Then my Mom said "you don't live in La Jolla honey" oh. Lesson 3 -With gas at $4.65 find out if you can where people in your household are going to work and of course see if you can live nearby. I personally checked out the Poway Unified School district. I looked in surrounded areas. To us it came down to price, schools, and what our idea of a house is. Is a condo a house? Do we need grass? Also our home in one income but we had my husband ask around at work where people lived. Sometimes it was areas where we would have to be a two income family. Sometimes people who relocated told him where they were and what they didn't like about it. a huge help. Like I knew I was alright with living farther from the ocean and my husband having a shorter commute. Lesson 4- People in CA rent. I found that really strange. In Michigan those people who rent are the ones who can't afford houses. (for the most part) Here I think people rent for lots of reasons including the housing market. So you may want to check that out. I think a rental agent cost a couple hundred dollars. But you can do it on your own too. Rental homes in awesome areas not at all what I pictured. We bought and our house price dropped a lot. But I couldn't find a rental to save my life when we looked. They say now is a great time to buy but I heard that too. How long do you plan on being here? Lesson 5- You are going to love it here. I miss my family but it really is a very open friendly city. It was a bit of a culture shock. CA is a little different. But it is a very cool laid back family friendly place. Good Luck

Is University of California San Diego really that boring? Are there no parties?
Is University of California San Diego really that boring? Are there no parties?
I was just accepted to University of California San Diego to the Sixth College for CSE: Computer Science which is kind of a gift from god considering my grades. I know UCSD is a very hard school to get into and the Jacobs school of engineering is no joke and ranks the top ten in the country for engineering. So I am very fortunate for getting in, and I know its a very good school. I would consider myself a smart kid, I have my head on straight. However, I do party a lot as in I drink like every weekend. I feel very fortunate that I got into UCSD and I would feel like I passed up a good opportunity if I didn't go, however, I need that college life. Will I be that bored if I go to UCSD? Are there some parties, just not that many parties? Is it really a dry campus? Would you recommend that I pass up UCSD if it is that boring of a school to go to University of Washington, Cal Poly, or UC SB?

I've heard that each individual college at UCSD has it's own lively lifestyle, as long as you go there ready to mingle with people. The college system there has really allowed many people to gather social lives that they probably would not have had at universities without the same system. Sorry to burst your bubble, though, but first and foremost, college is about the education, and no matter where you go, you will make friends that you will keep forever. **note:** You'll probably get a better feel for it if you visit some of these campuses during your spring break: I know that Cal Poly Pomona has a nice rec area for students, but I haven't ben to SB or UW so I dk about those two... and congrats on making it into SD! I got in there yesterday as a Biological Engineering Major!
3
Many of my closest friends went to SD and they didn't like the social aspect of it at all. I would goto SB if I were you. It has a great reputation in computer science/engineering. and it has an atmosphere much more in tune to what you want.

Depends on what you figure your priorities are going to be. You said "college life" which I aptly read "want to drink". UCSD is a wonderful academic institution, but it's kind of isolated from the rest of the greater San Diego area. There are definitely parties to be found, you just need to know where to look and who to ask. If you feel you "need that college life", you may want to consider how long you'll "need" it. I was a partier my first few years, until I realized that I wasn't going to get anywhere doing it that way, especially after I graduated. After I turned 21, I pretty much stopped going to parties anyway, so the social life (or lack thereof) really didn't affect me. Also, UCSD is about two miles from the beaches (Sixth is in the NW corner of campus). As far as I'm concerned, as long as you have a beach, if you get bored it's your own damn fault. If you really value the "college life" that much, then you might consider Poly-SLO. If you don't think it will matter much after a few years, stick with UCSD.
5
Every college has a social life, so don't sweat it. I know people who are attending Seminary, and you would think this would be dreadfully boring, but they have parties and dances and go to clubs like everyone else. San Diego is a good spot to be in. It's close to Mexico if you are inclined to South of the Border thrills, and it's close to the mountains, Tahoe, Las Vegas, the dune-buggy sand hills of Arizona. And the beaches are great. So what's not to like? Congratulations on getting in, by the way. I'm sure you'll find a lot of fun along with a quality education there.

No, it does not require two years of language or any art. they don't require anything unless if you want to major in game art they require a portfolio i know that as a fact, i was very stuck on going to AI San Diego, and didn't listen to people who told me other wise until the very last minute, but i suggest you think a little about going to a two year and transferring.. California does has a great transfer system (automatic guarantee if you keep decent/good grades) and you make an art portfolio as you take art classes. (and it would look better on a resume than a propriety *for profit* school. do the best you can do for you, you still have time; your only in high school, and if money is not a problem aim bigger for a private school that is respected ( Otis college of design? ) i bet it may even cost less! if you have not already, collegeboard.com is a great website, they have a search engine that looks up schools for you, it's really fun and incredibly helpful. sorry if i burst your bubble, but i was going to be $130,000 in debt if i went!

University of California at San Diego Question!?
University of California at San Diego Question!?
I want so badly to get into UCSD[University of California in San Diego], specifically Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I want to be a marine biologist. I'm a freshman now, and I know that freshman grades don't really count at UCSD, only sophomore and junior grades. I go to a private school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and get good grades. I had only 2 B's last semester, but they were in Pre AP classes. I plan on taking all the AP classes I can the rest of my high school year. Here's my question: What classes would you recommend I take in order to get into UCSD and what grades? Also, do you think I still have a pretty good chance even though I don't live in California? I'm planning on taking two science classes a year

Different Universities have different requirement. the one that you like is science, i suggest, get a science course and study hard. Get As. Don't get B. It's disqualifying. Hope this will help you. PS: if you are non californian resident, expensive. I tried at UC Berkley, $70,000 for foreigners and non californian resident

University of California San Diego UCSD students?
University of California San Diego UCSD students?
I'm currently debating whether to attend Davis or Sd. I was just wondering, (I got accpeted into warren in pharmaceutical chemistry).. are the classes hard at sd? Is it super competitive?

Academically, UC San Diego has a somewhat stronger reputation, especially in the physical sciences. The University of Colorado is probably a little better socially, and it is a pretty good school, so it all depends on what you are looking for.
2
My brother went to CU-Boulder and loved it. He did it ALL there. Undergrad, Masters, and he received his Ph.d on March 13, 2006 in mechanical engineering.
3
Mostly equal, SDU is a nicer area/climate.
4
they are both good schoool, no doubt. though i am a huge CSU - Fort Collins fan and hate the CU buff's Colorado is a really good school. It has a good rep. for vets. So if you want to be a vet that is a good school to go to & alameda east (that ER vet place on animal planet a lot, is in colorado.. Plus Colroado is a GREAT state! not that california isn't, but i lived in CO most of my life, and i loved it. I dont know much about U of California but I here it's a great school. It's more of your opinion and what you want to do for a living and where you would rather live, Snowy Colorado or Sunny California.
5
although i am not familiar with university of colorado, i know that ucsd is an amazing school. it is a beautiful campus in a great location with alot of esteemed professors. it was my first choice for school but i did not get in and went to uc irvine instead. the main thing would be to think about what you are going to major in and choose the school that has the better reputation for that academic field. also, depending on which state you live in will determine how much your tuition is, if that is an issue for you. if you live in california, ucsd will cost you substantially less and vice versa for colorado.

Why go to Bolder when you can go to sunny San Diego? There is no place like San Diego. The place is such a blast. Wish I'd gone to undergrad there.

How much is a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in San Diego, California?
How much is a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in San Diego, California?
It was 3 in the morning. There was no one on the street so I just paused and then went. Wtf. I got a speeding ticket a month earlier for $500. How much is this one going to be?? Also it said Im not eligible for traffic school for my speeding ticket and it was the first ticket I ever got. :( So how much is the ticket going to be, and will I be able to get traffic school for THIS one. I dont even know how much my insurance is going to go up for my first ticket. Im still a student so I have no idea how Im going to pay for all this...

Ca CVC 22450 - Failure to stop at a stop sign - $138 base fine + applicable gov fees and surcharges. For more serious violations, one is not eligible for traffic.
3
The courts website normally has the court fees on it. Call the courts and ask if you make take a class. Your insurance will only go up for 1 ticket if you take a class for the other ticket removal
4
To get a fine that high for speeding, you were going at least 26 mph over the speed limit. Traffic school is not generally offered automatically when speed is more than 25 mph over the limit, although the court can order it if you ask. However, you can certainly use traffic school to avoid the conviction on the stop sign charge. Although a court can order traffic school for two citations issued within 18 months, I doubt that this would be likely when they are this close together, so you would only get rid of one, anyway. I am afraid Ben is way off on the fine. The scheduled fine for violating Veh C 22450(a) is $146+65 for a total of $211. Your fine should be close to that. Traffic school can cost up to $50 more, plus the cost of the school.

it would be easier to break into the music scene in San Diego vs LA. There are so many students, so lots of student bars often with open mike nights and live bands playing. Also cool small venues like The Casbah, Belly Up in Solana Beach, etc where you can work your way up to playing.

University of California, Berkeley University of California, Davis University of California, Irvine University of California, Los Angeles University of California, Merced University of California, Riverside University of California, San Diego University of California, San Francisco University of California, Santa Barbara University of California, Santa Cruz University of La Verne I will be studying medicines to become a cosmetic surgeon.

According to the US news ranking, Berkeley is best. It truly is exceptional. I think UCLA is one of the great universities in the world [nope - didn't go there] and would give it equal weight to Berkeley in most areas areas.
2
Are you talking about med school or your bachelor's? You cannot study medicine or plastic surgery during undergrad. For medical school, only UCSF, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, and soon UCR and UCM have medical schools. UCSF is considered the best, followed by UCLA and the rest. However, all of them are extremely competitive and you'll be extremely lucky to even interview at all of them. For undergrad, it depends on your major and what you consider "best". In rankings---which are generally flawed---Berkeley and UCLA come out highest. However, what makes a school great is dependent on a good deal more than its rank; UC Davis is in a charming smal town catering almost directly to UCD students, while UCLA has the benefits of being in a major city. If you're thinking of majoring in film, UCLA is excellent while engineering at UCSD is top notch. UC Santa Cruz's astronomy program is second only behind Princeton's, but UCB has one of the largest programs for it. Research and campus visits are your best bets. Good luck!

1. UC Berekley is by far the best (I dont care what anyone tells you: great English, Business, History departments) 2. UC Los Angeles this barely beats out UCSB 3. UC Santa Barbara 4. UC San Diego more of a research and nerdy school but still top. Especially for grad. 5. UC San Francisco has some world class graduate programs making for a good undergrad 6. UC Riverside the secret amongst the UCs a very, very competitive and academic oriented school 7. UC Davis 8. UC Santa Cruz great School 9. UC Irvine 10. UC Merced 11. La Verne Very difficult list If your studying medicine I recommend UC San Francisco but because it is cosmetic surgery I recomend UCLA. Which has a world class medical school PLUS it is in the plastic surgery capital of the world.
4
First of all, if you are studying medicine, some UCs don't even have med school. Only Davis, Irvine, LA, SD, and SF has its own med school. Merced and Riverside has applied to open their own med school, but it will take a good years to come to reality. UCR, however, has a joint program with UCLA that those who graduated from UCR undergrad can apply, giving you a higher chance to get in. It sounds like you are entering undergrad, not medicine at this moment. Unless you get in to Berkley or LA, I suggest you to choose UC that is close to your home-home. Berkley has its downside, so you want to visit the campus first. If you are applying for undergrad, you cannot apply to UCSF for its graduate school only. If you are Berkeley student, you may take courses at UCSF, but you cannot get undergrad degree from SF. Riverside, Merced, and Santa Cruz are known for low-end among UC schools, and sometimes are known for party schools. However, they are good schools and I know plenty of students who went there who have successfully gone to med school. Berkeley, LA, and SD are known for top-three among UC schools. They are prestigious and more difficult to get in. Each campus has its own up and downside, but generally LA is good in overall areas. Irvine, Davis, and SB are the mid tiers, but they are great schools. Med schools do NOT give preferences if you went to the same school for undergrad, so go to a college where you can get great grades and enjoy your undergrad years.

Making an appeal in San Diego California Traffic Court?
Making an appeal in San Diego California Traffic Court?
6 months ago I received a speeding ticket. A lawyer I consulted warned me about the judge I was going to see in East SD Co., telling me he was very biased and was tough, even with a good case. I did much better than I expected in court. I cracked the cop, who couldn't answer many vital questions, such as whether or not he administered an alcohol test, and the speed of the area I was seen speeding in. I pointed out that he wrote I was speeding 55 in a 35 mph zone, however much of the area he cited me for speeding in was a 40 mph zone. He even falsely stated that it was "part 45mph part 30mph zone". Its 40! The judge even repeated it was a 45 zone siding with this incompetent cop. With his case looking weak, the judge still found me guilty. I couldn't believe it. And worse, I didnt even get the offer of traffic school. I felt slighted,and feel I received an unfair trial considering the cops spotty report. I am going to appeal. What can I expect? Will I see a different judge? Can I still ask for traffic school or will that part of the judges decision stand? The cop straight out said he didn't know what the speed limit was and repeated a wrong fact about the areas speed limit. Ive made many mistakes getting tickets in my past, but I am innocent on this, and I wish I could get a fair trial without worrying about my past. Do I have a good chance of a re trial? Do I have a chance of having a fair trial? Please, any information will be great..thank you. I'd also like to add that after the court, I spoke to a retired veteran police officer who witnessed the trial, and said he couldn't believe that case wasn't thrown out.

I don't practice in California, but here's some general law points to help you... Appeals are taken to a 'higher' court, so it would be sent to the next level in the court system for review. But appeals are also very complicated. You have to file a timely notice of appeal and certify the record on appeal. It sounds like you represented yourself, and that can cause a few problems. If you didn't make any objections, or move for a directed verdict, the appellate court may find that no appealable issues were preserved and refuse to review the case. If you can get a higher court to review, just know they will not hear new evidence, they will review the transcript of the original trial... and they will give a lot of deference to the ruling of the lower court. Now, if as you say the testimony was insufficient to show the elements were meant, you could get a reversal, which could mean a dismissal or a new trial... don't count on the officer not knowing the speed limit at a new trial... he'll be p*ssed and will have his ducks in a row!
2
Yes, you can appeal, and you will see a different judge (or a panel of judges, depending on the circumstances). If you represent yourself, DO NOT try to criticize the first judge or the policeman. This will get you nowhere, because judges stick up for each other. Also do not question the facts of the case as determined by the first judge, since appellate courts don't hear appeals of facts. Just focus on the interpretation of the law and how it applies to your case.
3
An appeal will be heard in the Appellate Division of the superior court, a 3-judge reviewing court, but I don't think you have any chance whatsoever on the appeal from the conviction. California's law on speed is a "reasonable and prudent" standard. You apparently admit going faster than than the posted limit (whatever it was). It is then presumed that your speed was not reasonable and prudent, and to win YOU must present evidence that your speed was reasonable and prudent despite the posted limit. It does not matter whether the hearing officer disbelieved everything the officer said -- if there was evidence you were exceeding the limit and no evidence that such a speed was reasonable, the hearing officer would HAVE to convict you. Further, even if your testimony was that you were not exceeding what you assert the limit is, the appeal is not a new trial, and so long as there is ANY evidence in the record to support the hearing officer's ruling, you will lose. So if the police officer testified you were going at a certain speed, and the hearing officer believed him, the Appellate Division MUST accept that as fact. There will not be a retrial. Either the evidence is sufficient (as it appears) and the conviction will be affirmed, or else the evidence is not sufficient, and the conviction will be reversed. You say you were not given an "offer" of traffic school. It does not have to be offerred, you have to ask for it. However, if you asked for it, and the hearing officer arbitrarily denied it (for example, if he said that nobody who goes to trial can get traffic school), that might be an issue you could win -- but that would result only in the case being sent back to the hearing officer for proper consideration of your request.

It is then presumed that your speed was not reasonable and prudent, and to win YOU must present evidence that your speed was reasonable and prudent despite the posted limit. It does not matter whether the hearing officer disbelieved everything the officer said -- if there was evidence you were exceeding the limit and no evidence that such a speed was reasonable, the hearing officer would HAVE to convict you. Further, even if your testimony was that you were not exceeding what you assert the limit is, the appeal is not a new trial, and so long as there is ANY evidence in the record to support the hearing officer's ruling, you will lose. So if the police officer testified you were going at a certain speed, and the hearing officer believed him, the Appellate Division MUST accept that as fact. There will not be a retrial. Either the evidence is sufficient (as it appears) and the conviction will be affirmed, or else the evidence is not sufficient, and the conviction will be reversed. You say you were not given an "offer" of traffic school. It does not have to be offerred, you have to ask for it. However, if you asked for it, and the hearing officer arbitrarily denied it (for example, if he said that nobody who goes to trial can get traffic school), that might be an issue you could win -- but that would result only in the case being sent back to the hearing officer for proper consideration of your request.

use protection. although if you're so needy. why not come out? message people on myspace? use www.mogenic.com (although it never works) or the gay youth corner (which always works) in the big wide world if you go looking for sex without the barrier of the internet youll only find old men wanting to fuck you over. (mostly) research these people and talk to them on msn/ facebook whatever.

Looks like you think quite highly of yourself, hmm? Oh, its okay, nothing against you. Of course you can look in san fran, but don't bring him home if your under 16. Even though brent corrigan (gay porn star) when he was 16, dated people in their 30's, its still risky & you could get hurt. good luck on what you choose :D

UC College in southern California ?
I am a currently in 11th grade at a San Diego California High School. My GPA last year was a 3.7 and I have yet to take my S.A.T. I am afraid that I lack the extracurricular they seek for. And I was wondering what colleges want and look for and what I can do.

Colleges aren't looking for any one extracurricular. They're looking for well-rounded students. This doesn't mean you should join every club in your school-that will just look like you're trying too hard. Rather, show consistent involvement in a few extracurriculars that you enjoy. That being said, things like community service and student leadership make a particularly good impression. So find a couple of extracurricular activities that interest you, and get involved!
2
best thing to do is research. go to each of the UC campuses' websites and check what they look for. you might find something attractive about a certain campus while you research. Also, do campus visits. The feel of the campus could be different than you think

Grossmont College (it's a community college) has a Respiroty Therapist program. And it's $22 a unit! The waiting list is a bit long, though. You should still check it out. Beats $67,000 by a long shot.

How can I enroll my brother into a California High School if I live in Tijuana, Mexico?
How can I enroll my brother into a California High School if I live in Tijuana, Mexico?
I am a U.S. Citizen and I am currently living in Tijuana, Mexico due to my husband's immigration status. My younger brother, who is currently living at home in California, with my parents isn't getting the adequate attention necessary for a 15 year old. He is going to move in with my husband and I for about a year. Again, we live in Tijuana and I want to enroll him into a San Diego High School. I already have the right documents to prove my temporary guardianship over him with the "Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit, and Guardianship Authorization Form. My question is, Will the San Diego School District let me enroll him even though I live in Tijuana, or do I have to provide a San Diego County Address? Is there something I can do so that they will accept him with a Tijuana address?

To go to a California school you need to have verifiable California residency. All the kids crossing the border in the morning either have a relative or a "caregiver" that has lent their real parents their local address. You will need to fill out another caregiver form at the school and also fill out a proof of residency along with a bill that is in your name with the address of the home you plan to use as "your residence." You can do that or ask you friend or relative to register your brother at the school as his caregiver. This is all illegal as you would be lying on a signed document. But these kids rarely get caught. They just don't ever say that they live in Tijuana, they're always visiting.

No. You'd go from San Diego county, through orange county, past LA county, and then reach your destination in the san bernardino county. That's over 110 miles. Alot of people here in downtown LA live in rancho cucamonga, and it takes them a long time to get here by train. LA is so much closer than San Diego. I'd say the drive would probably be 2.5 hours each way.

From San Diego to Rancho Cucamonga is about 120 miles. without traffic its 2 hours. u will get traffic from 7ish to 9am every day from south bay (chula vista) all the way to mira mesa. then again past Temecula. And again all over in the afternoon. I would say that it would have u driving about 5 hours a day. u think if it is worth ur time. i would try to live closer to school. Good Luck!!! PS. take the 15 north and u avoid LA.

Nope, that is not possible. Unless you buy yourself a private jet.

The school is pretty good, especially in certain fields. Their oceanography program is one of the best in the country. Either SAT or ACT is fine. You also need 2 SAT IIs. Out of state tuition is A LOT, and no, there's no way around it.
2
You are at a disadvantage, the UC's truly favor California kids,at all the UC's, out of state are no more than 10% of kids.
3
You should get in easily enough but check to see whether they accept either score. If you are good at taking tests, you should probably take both in case UCSD or some other school wants either. Check online to see about out-of-state tuition waivers and email the university. My review of over 1000 applications failed to find a single case in which the applicant could follow simple written instructions. Most, but not all, of the many students that I met there came from families that fell above most standards of financial need. San Diego is one of the most expensive areas of the US, and UCSD is next to La Jolla. I can say that the Clairmont Mesa area next to UCSD has the best microclimate in SD and SD itself has by far the best climate in the 48 adjacent states (my wife insists that Hawaii is better). The rental rates are beyond exorbitant: as a mid-management career federal employee, I could not afford a decent apartment in SD (we did not even have A/C: fortunately, we rarely needed it). If I were well to do, I would not hesitate to move back. If I were a student of limited means, I would consider a less expensive school. If you are looking for a beach, SD is not a good place to start. The SE has many good affordable schools in easy reach of the beach: I attend UCF: it is affordable and offers many majors. Be careful with your text messages when you contact UCSD: they should meet English theme standards of punctuation and capitalization. De nada

How nice of school is San Diego State?
How nice of school is San Diego State?
I am going to be applying for college soon and was considering places like southern California (not LA) and Arizona so I was wondering what San Diego State was like. Is it a good school? Nice campus?

It is a good school and the campus is pretty nice. SDSU is rather large, about 33,000 students. It is a mix of older and newer buildings. I graduated from there so I enjoyed it. There are many majors and minors to choose from. If you live on campus, there are several dorms and apartments to choose from. There is a trolley station so if you need to go downtown or a few other places you can get there easily. For professors, I would recommend checking with RateMyProfessors.com or talk to other students as I had many good professors and a few not so good ones when I was a student there. But all in all, SDSU is a nice place to go to school. SDSU offers many other nice things, too. The library is open till 1AM Sunday through Thursday, and there is a study room that is open 24/7. On campus, there are several dining options including a sit down dining hall, some fast food, a grill, and some convience stores where you can buy groceries. For recreation, SDSU offers a rec center, workout gym, handball and racquetball courts, tennis courts, sports fields, gymnasiums, swimming pools, a bowling alley / pool hall / arcade, bar, performing arts theaters, lunchtime concerts, and many other amenities.

My boyfriend goes to SDSU and I go to a private school in san diego which is a considerable amount more money each semester- that being said, many of SDSU's classrooms are nicer than those at my school, the teachers, for the most part, sound 'good', and the landscaping is nice. of course, you will find that any school with over 30,000 students will have quite a few lecture halls...some with up to as many as 700 students in a class. Some of the programs they offer there are top in the state, and although it was once deemed a top 10 party school, I think it may have dropped in numbers (and whether you see that as a good or bad thing is a matter of preference). Definitely a good school...I would have gone there if I didnt get into USD

I currently go to SDSU and really like it. As far as looks it has quite a few grassy areas and looks nice. Although some buildings are older than others I think it just adds to the atmosphere. Its pretty spread out though so it takes awhile to get from place to place. As far as academics it has a very large number of majors and minors etc. There are a lot of students though about 35,000 so if you don't mind that and some larger class then I would definitely recommend coming out and taking a campus tour. SDSU has a lot to offer.

It's a good school. I've been to the campus a few times, and it's pretty nice and well kept. There's a lot of grassy areas and it's really pretty. I don't really know much about it, so I won't be much of a help, sorry.
