<p>No I do not feel I am entitled to more. I never complained. SOMEONE ELSE suggested to me to appeal, and it has been done, so I thought maybe I could. No one attacked me on my thread for asking about it…</p>
<p>If I truly wanted to attend USC, I could have made the situation work; like others pointed out, there are many options to help cover those costs. But 30k is a lot to me, especially when I don’t need to pay anything. The matter isn’t whether my situation is as bad as your friend’s, which I am sorry about, but how much that money is to me. Your friend finds 40k for Cal worth it, but it’s up to me whether I do. I don’t think attending USC will benefit me any more than attending a UC. I believe UCs also provide “world-class education”. For that reason, I believe that yes, I am being practical money-wise.</p>
