<p>UCB offered me about $5k more than UCLA. That was after submitting a financial aid appeal to both. If they don’t offer you enough and you will make less money this year than you did last year, be sure to appeal. </p>
<p>As far as financial aid was concerned, the schools were ranked like this (from most aid to least aid):</p>
<p>UCSD
UCB
UCLA
UCSB</p>
