| IF your EFC is in excess of the cost of attendance at most private schools, and you do not receive merit aid (from those privates that DO offer it), your in state public university will be your best bet financially.
What if you live in California and have paid high California taxes for 25-30 years, and your public in-state schools don't admit you? My daughter was rejected from several UC campuses-4.0 top 10%, 6 AP classes. Her friend applied to 6 UC campuses, was rejected at 5, and was waitlisted at UCI only to be told on Friday that she was not admitted. I agree that our public in-state schools are the best bet for our California kids, but when they can't even get in, it makes you really angry. |
