<p>I’d like to thank you very much, alememom. By in-state, I meant that UC’s would be a cheaper alternative that my parents would like, but USC is a better school than the UCs I’ve gotten into. It would be a possibility to pay the full tuition this year, but if I had a plan to pay less in the following years it would be much more feasible. </p>
<p>Would calling the financial aid office and explaining my situation possibly change anything? Perhaps a new calculated EFC that would lessen the cost of tuiton?</p>
