<p>How does everyone's award letter look like? If you don't mind want to post it up? For mine, they give me about 8000 as gift aid which still leave me about 9000 to make up in loan and work study. Now my dad is telling me to go to community college instead because 9000 a year is lot to take out loans for. I wish i had applied to CSULB so now i would have an alternative.</p>
<p>i got 6,something in gift aid, and i'm taking out a 3,500 loan.</p>
<p>I got $215 in gift aid and the rest was supposed to be super-high interest loans.</p>
<p>I got nothing. Everything is out of pocket... :(</p>
<p>going to community college is VERY different from uci. Go to uci. work study 3.5k so only 5.5k is loan.</p>
<p>i got 0 in aid, everythign except 8.5k in scholarship is out of pocket.</p>
<p>How much is the tuition for UCI for a commuter and resident.</p>
<p>darn you people with lots of gift aid/scholarships.... :)</p>
<ol>
<li> Very helpful aid . . . not.</li>
</ol>
<p>Poor little rich girl -- for Christ sake, don't they realize house payments and taxes zap out disposable parent income?!?</p>
<p>i got about $6,500 in grant, $12k in parent contribution and $3,500 in student contribution. Don't think my parents are willing to pay that much for me, so it will be a huge loan like uhh 15k? eek :/</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for USC's fin aid package and I'm not too thrilled about how much debt I'm going to be in either.</p>
<p>Hmm..I envy students with financial aid. I have asbolutely nothing. Not even subsidized loans.</p>
<p>I believe I got 4,500 in grants from UCI but then along with other grants I have a total of 12,000 grants. So yay. I need to find a 10,000 scholarship.</p>
<p>is there still time to look for scholarship? How about you guys who didn't get any gift aid, what are you going to do? You have some other alternative to UCI?</p>
<p>anyone know above what "income level" are subsidized loans no longer offered?</p>
<p>I got nothing as well. My parents will be paying about 19k out of their pockets and I'll be paying 3,500. Here's hoping for some scholarships to come through...</p>
<p>^It's the same for me.</p>
<p>^ ditttooo. I'm applying like crazy to scholarships. Fastweb is my friend at the moment =)</p>
<p>Hmmm...I would have to loan/work study about 7.5 grand</p>
<p>my gift aid was $14,780.00 .... but does the include the cal grants? b/c my efc is 0, but i got a letter in the mail saying i dont qualify for any cal grants b/c my income was "over the ceiling" so OBVIOUSLY i did something wrong with my fafsa ....</p>
<p>that sound weird pol123, you might have to look up on that? So any of you sure you will attend UCI?</p>
<p>I am quite sure.</p>
