<p>What are your parents saying? Are they happily willing to pay the UCLA costs? IF not, then the question is moot.</p>
<p>It sounds like you’re a low EFC student, otherwise your cost to UCLA would be higher. If so, then where would you get the money to pay. (OOS students usually have to pay EFC + OOS tuition difference. Since you’re only being charged the OOS part, your EFC may be very low. Plus, your aid from CMC suggests the same.)</p>
<p>BTW…what will your major be? “Premed” isn’t a major at most schools, including UCLA and CMC. I think only about 2 schools have “premed” as a major.</p>
<p>Edited to add… I see that you are low income. You got fee waivers for your apps and you had problems paying for your extra apps. So, the question is likely moot. Since it seems that you don’t have the means to pay for UCLA, then CMC (or another school) has to be it.</p>
