davis and sc are both great schools, with davis having a little more name recognition and being in the top 10 public schools in us news and world report and all those other rankings, which are stupid anyways. visit both schools and see which one fits, but davis is a hell of a lot closer to skiing than sc. and it will be harder to get into davis than sc . . . need ~4.0 and 1300 it seems these days to get in; davis gets the people who couldn't get into LA and berkeley, sc gets the people who couldn't get into davis, sb etc. all great schools though
