Google Berkeley Common Data Set … the numbers in there are at least consistent school to school.
Yes about 50% of students get average amount of $25K. I guess 50% have high need, but remember Ca has some programs that cap middle income tuitions and I guess room and board and other expenses too.
Loans are listed separately as self-help.
The education fee / OOS supplement is never subsidized, apparently forbidden by state law.
You can now look at other comparable schools.
One thing useful is to see how many merit and athletic awards are granted at various schools. and % need met.
For example, UCB has only 129 $5K merit awards out of 5,000 freshman and 130 $20 x awards for athletes. So, unless you are exceptional for Berkeley, you ain’t getting one or the other.
It is not particularly useful to guess average financial amounts are near your likely amounts. This logic seems to be a favorite on online resources like USNWR, but unless you are their mean financial aid person, why do you care what others get ?
The NPC would be a much better tool to determine likely financial aid packages.
