Even with the financial mess of California's public education system, the University of California System has some of the best public universities in the country. You're going to need strong grades and standardized test scores to get into schools like UCLA, Berkeley, or UCSD. The UC System has holistic admissions, so the schools will also be looking for winning essays, interesting extracurricular activities, and challenging courses.
