Thanks for your advice. I'm not stranger to that kind of course of action since people are more understanding when you get a chance to speak to them candidly/truthfully. That said, can speaking to the dept. heads help my admission (do depts approve applications themselves?) Either way it'd give me an excuse to go check out the facilities so I may just do that. I wish I could afford USC but I've used up most of my grants and blown past six figures so I would get no help, but I'm fine with a UC or Cal State :)

Internal recommendations can help a lot. In some schools/departments, there is a departmental committee that has a say in the admissions process. The UC schools and Cal State are all very fine universities. Good luck!

I'd also say don't restrict yourself just to schools in Socal. There are lots of great schools doing fully online Undergrad degrees (Penn State, Arizona State and Florida come to mind). https://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/bachelors/rankings https://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/bachelors/...
