<p>All I can say is, work your @ss off to maintain your 4.0 and you will be golden. I had about 9200.00 left in student loans to cover at UCLA when I got (and several others) were given another UCLA scholarship that covered that as well, which came out to a full ride. I called and they said that it was basically just a very competitive scholarship that went off of GPA. </p>
<p>Also, having a 4.0 gives you a shot at the regents which can cover all of your FINANCIAL NEED. So if your efc=0 that pretty much means a full ride.</p>
<p>There are other scholarships too. If you do TAP, I know a few people on here applied for that scholarship (I didn’t do TAP) but it’s an idea. The Alumni scholarship is another but this one is based off of extra curriculars. Which brings me to my next point, why have you not done any?! That will aid you in your overall application (arguably you may not need it with your 4.0) and the other scholarship considerations. The Alumni is strictly merit based and focuses on EC’s as well as GPA. I believe as a transfer you can apply with a GPA above 3.75. </p>
<p>Lastly, look into your community college for other scholarships. My community college has this group called the “Hancock Foundation” where you submit one general application and 2 letters of recommendation and a panel decides which scholarships you are eligible for. I don’t know if you have this kind of thing but I got an amazing award amount for my next year at UCLA.</p>
<p>There is a lot of help if you can show that you really care about your education and work hard. I would really try to do some EC’s this summer. I know it may be hard with schoolwork and work and etc. but it is so worth it in the end. For many more reasons than this. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
