<p>What is the average debt that OOS students come out with? It seems pretty darn expensive considering UCs don’t give aid to OOS residents.</p>
<p>^this.
I’m starting to think the only OOS people who attend UCs are people who make like 200k a year. I’m thoroughly middle to upper middle class and I still can’t find one way to conceivably attend UCLA without graduating with like 80k debt, which is no bueno since I then have to attend law school.</p>
<p>80k?? I’d be looking at over 100k probably -_-</p>
<p>what’s oos</p>
<p>oos is out of state</p>
<p>80-100k debt isn’t that bad. Of course, it’s better if it can be avoided, but if you really want to go to UCLA, then it’s necessary.</p>
<p>^Easy for you to say.
Your parents make over 150k. I saw on the OOS decision board. -___-
For me, $80k debt right before law school is impossible. And that’s not taking into account interest.</p>
<p>But whatever. I really need to stop whining and just get over the fact I’m not going to UCLA.</p>
<p>I agree with WongTong. For me, incurring that debt would be okayif the trade-off would be UCLA.</p>
<p>btw, I’m oos but I received 21,268 in gift-aid and the remaining net cost met b yloans and work-study</p>
<p>I’m OOS and I have an efc of about 4k. I only received about $16,000. Is there any chance that UCLA will/can give me more money? Or is it not even worth trying?</p>
<p>you can always start slanging drugs</p>
<p>If you want to go to law school go to an easier college and get a higher GPA. Trust me.</p>
<p>80k isn’t a wise choice for debt for an undergrad degree, esp if you plan on getting a grad/professional degree.</p>
<p>undertaker— you could try, but since it’s a public school 1)it’s main priority always has been and always will be supporting in state students (at a private school like MIT, it does get fed $$, but it’s only towards the use for US/American students, so they put a cap on international students.) 2)it receives a limited amount of $ from the govt vs a private school.</p>
<p>I’m having the same issue 
I got accepted and I’m OOS and they’re giving me about $21k in gift aid for the first year, but my parents would still have to pay about $30,000 since I don’t have relatives in the LA area.</p>
<p>I’m very upset and I would like nothing more than to go, but it’s just financially unreasonable for a public school even if it is UCLA.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>^ For the record, in state residents pay $30k a year to attend UCLA.</p>

<p>Damn what were your stats to receive so much gift aid for out of state. I got absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>How do they survive? They’re rich.</p>

<p>If i were you, i’d save the debt for UCLA’s law school. I’d study hard for it if i were you, the 25th percentile of applicants had 165 on the lsat (97%)</p>
