<p>I intend to apply to UCSC in the next month or so (early action), and while I'm almost sure I'll get in, I'm not sure if I am willing to pay so much for an education.</p>

<p>I love the area and the vibe I got when I visited campus, so I'm definitely interested.</p>

<p>Would I get any money (and if so, how much) from UCSC?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 (10 AP Classes, don't know my weighted GPA yet)
SAT: 1800
ACT: 34 (12 writing)
SAT II CHEM: 720
PHYSICS: 740
MATH II: 740</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars: hockey, lacrosse, mock trial, hockey coach, NHS, etc (basically just fun sports and nothing major like internships)</p>

<p>My essay will be above average and I'll have pretty good recommendations</p>

<p>EDIT: im looking to major in Comp Engineering or Comp Science</p>

<p>If its calling your name apply and see what happens. I don’t think you’ll see much merit aid at the UCs or CSUs.</p>

<p>34 ACT is an awesome score - great work!</p>

<p>I’d suggest you apply a few more places.</p>

<p>You’ve got the sats to get into Cal Pol SLO which is a fair amount cheaper and by most accounts better. </p>

<p>Depending on your weighted CSU GPA (I’m guessing 4.1), you’ve probably got a good shot at Davis maybe UC San Diego.</p>
