Financial aid at public schools

<p>Just found out that financial aid packages (including scholarships) from public schools (Berkeley, UCLA, UIUC, UMichigan) are very poor. I am out of state so basically I need to pay out of pocket >$40k/year... making these schools unaffordable.</p>

<p>How many of you got good financial aid packages from public schools?</p>

<p>Would have just been easier to do ONE thread in FA rather than three or (I expect) four.</p>
