No, but I was hoping. I got the Regents scholarship but it didn't pay for everything as it did the year before (only got $21k). I'm wondering if anyone got any extra scholarships that paid for more than the normal financial aid (pell/seog grants, etc.)
But at UCB I got a full ride for $32k. However, it sucks because I wanted the full ride at UCI.

well, i consider the 20k I got from UCI a full ride. Housing doesn't really cost 11k or whatever if ur smart. i calculated that I will be able to pay for tuition, housing, and still have financial money to spare, which will probably go towards books + food

@babyavery
I was wondering, did you have to fill out applications for your full ride to Berkeley? Was it in the form of FA or scholarships? I didn't get money from schools so I want to gain insight to how the whole thing works.

It's only confusing to one-track minds who don't know someone's priorities when choosing a school...
@smiley
No, I didn't fill out any additional forms. I received a pell grant, seog grant, parent scholarship, and an undergraduate scholarship at UCB.

@baby... depending on how the next few days go... I might decline my admission to Cal too. Do you mind if I ask what your reasoning is? I'm trying to justify why this could be a good idea for me :/

How about family for example? I know many fellow CCC friends that hopes for UCLA, UCI, CSULB, etc. over Cal, Davis, SC, etc because they have a family to take care of. I know UCLA or UCI is much more important to me over UCB because I want to stay in LA to look after my father.

Part of my reason for not wanting to go to norcal is because I absolutely HATE cold weather. haha that sounds so ridiculous but it has the potential to completely sway my decision.
