Yes, they are generally honest with these things. Remember they have a ton of students at Cal and many of them are on financial aid of some type. It can’t be easy keeping track of all of this for every student! It could just be a genuine mistake or maybe you are missing some form that is affecting the offer. The undergraduate scholarships are based on need and merit. Did your need change? Did your EFC change?? Did you receive additional outside scholarships that you just recently reported?? Many things could have happend but there is only one way to find out and that is to call. Be prepared to wait a while. My husband had to call this morning for our son and it took him a few tries and a long time on hold to get through. Don’t worry. It will all work out. Just stay on top of it and find out what the deal is. Good luck.
