<p>Well I didn’t consider any private schools because what I’ve heard is that they are very strict on making payment on time in full or something. I thought it was more affordable going to the state or the U.C.'s. I am also trying Stanford but that’s such a HUGE stretch for my academic record. When I go to the U.C.'s application website the scholarships and aid they offer don’t seem biased to only Cali residents.</p>
