I think its great that you are looking at the cost of everything now. Thats something that I have asked so many people about since its important to know right? I mean…were going to be paying buku dollars! lol, More than community college at least.
Im not sure what exactly the blue and gold is going to do for us. From what I understand and It seems like you have a head start on this, I believe that our tuition costs are going to be absolutely covered. That is…we will not pay a dime out of our own pockets being that we have 0 EFC. But I still think its sensible, at this point, to wait until we receive the acceptance letters On may 1 to determine the true cost that we incur. That is, the cost that we pay for ( I.e. Loans)
I have a good friend that showed me his numbers that he was given after may first and he was able to determine the total cost in June.
Please inform me if you come across anything that allows you to determine financial costs to us because its something I am curious about it. The only variable is…How much is UC going to give us in grants? Will perhaps one UC give us more grants than another?

Not BS, It may be hard to believe since its almost impossible to survive off an income of less than 13000 nowadays. But many students have this efc … thankfully we can receive help because of our little income and financial stability. Im sure you will have a good package too given that you have a 4.0 right?
