Thanks for the responses so far, guys. My parents are separated (not divorced), because my moms taking care of her parents in another country; she doesn’t work though. Neither of my parents are self employed; my dad works for the government of California. We’re renting our apartment (we don’t own any residences.)
I’m also going to call financial aid at all of the Universities that I’m applying to once they reopen on January 2nd.
And finally, I just used the net price calculators (thanks UCBAlumnus), and it turns out that Santa Clara would still want me to pay >$25000, which is insane. USC and Cornell will (apparently) offer me very generous financial aid, so fingers crossed that I get in.
