You’re right, I should’ve mentioned these. The EFCs are, in general, around 20-30k for each place, and this is within our budget. If I were to get in to these schools I would try to pick one that has the least effects upon our finances but regardless, the EFCs are within range.
As for whether I’ll be eligible for in-state tuition, it’s a very tricky situation. No website/forum online seems to be crystal clear on this, so I’ll try emailing the UCs and asking for their help.
