Hello, Jay !
I think you are asking which college to choose, not which one you "should get into". So let's review. You applied to the University of California, Davis, University of California Berkeley, UC Merced, University of California San Diego and UC San Francisco (I did this spelling out the colleges by memory so I hope I am right). For the California State Universities you applied to San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angles and Long Beach. There's a big chance that you'll get accepted to all of them.
If you get accepted to all of them, then you'd have to choose and no one can tell you which college to go to. I went to California State University, Sacramento and it was excellent and remains that way till this day.
For the Universities of California, it is said that they are more research oriented and emphasizes theoretical knowledge, preparing students for graduate school and research careers. It is also said that for the California State Universities, they are practical, offer more of a career oriented education, with curricula designed to prepare students for immediate workforce entry through applied learning and real world experience. It will also depend on if you want to go for a Bachelors or if you plan to go for a Masters Degree. The UC system is known to have strong Masters Programs. The CSU system also has Masters Programs.
Personally, my advice, having gone to college in California and having lived in both Northern and Southern California, I would advise staying local with either San Francisco, Berkeley or Davis. I only advise staying local because Southern California is very expensive right now, so it may be worth staying local for college. On the other hand, if your aim is indeed to move for college, I wouldn't go any further than UC Davis. It's set in a pleasant town and the best way to do this is to register for orientations at as many of the colleges you can once you hear back about acceptance and check out the colleges first hand. You could easily drive home from Davis for semester breaks, weekends and holidays.
You applied to a lot of colleges, so to determine which Business or Accounting Program you like best, read the program curriculum at each college at their websites to see which college has the program you like. Also consider campuses, atmosphere, as you will be on campus a lot. Since all of the colleges you applied to are good, start exploring the student services offered by the colleges and look at the campuses as a way to decide.
Remember that even though the UC system is more to have a Masters follow up after the Bachelors, you can still get your Bachelors there and not go for the Masters if you choose.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best ! It's an exciting time choosing a college !
