*We’re middle class, so could afford a UC or a private with good financial aid. *

UC’s cost about $30k per year. Have your parents said that they will pay that much?

Would you qualify for aid at a private? Aid is based on income/assets. I know that in Calif, people call incomes with $125k+ “middle class” but that’s not what colleges consider to be “middle class.”

UCs don’t give aid to the middle class. UCs reserve their aid for the low income students.
