@intparent @ucbalumnus - First off, I am so sorry. I didn’t realize that state schools and public universities are the same.
@Gumbymom - I can afford $30k per year for the UCs. The rest for other colleges, I need FA and my parents are willing for about 10k to 15k per year.
@ucbalumnus - I really desire to attend a well known school for engineering. And the “perfectly good schools” are still hard for safeties for my stats. I don’t have “perfectly good schools” as safeties.
