<p>Thanks in advance </p>

<p>@mikmac My FA package for Berkeley is 2k lower than UCLA and 6k lower than UCSB, but I looked over at how they calculated the cost of attendance and it seems that Berkeley calculated their CoA lower than UCLA. For me, either way, I would have to take out from my pocket around the same amount for both schools. Is your Berkeley FA package significantly lower than other schools you got into?</p>

<p>Accepted
