<p>@2016candles i agree. I know too many students who dont apply to UCs because they bekieve they cost too much. Yet they qaulify for pell grant and cal grants and have no idea that financial aid can add up to make the UCs as affordable as a Cal State. Well if you dont have to move that is. </p>
<p>From all the students ive met at Elac only 5 applied to UCs and they all got in. The rest think UCs cost to much and dont even bother they just go to CSULA because its cheap and they dont have to relocate</p>
