<p>I'm a junior that's looking to apply to UC Berkeley, Davis, and Los Angeles. </p>
<p>My family has 3 people and has a CFI of a little more than 30,000 (not more than 31000) and one average(?) (I don't know how to describe it) lexus.</p>
<p>How much aid can I expect from these schools? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You can expect little or nothing from these schools coming from OOS. You can try the Net Price Calculator for each school to get the official estimate.</p>
<p>What is CFI?</p>
<p>Some of the UCs will give some need based aid to OOS students, however, they will NOT cover any of the OOS portion of the bill.</p>
<p>The OOS portion is about $22k per year, so your family would have to pay AT LEAST that much, PLUS EFC. and, there would be full loans in your FA pkg.</p>
<p>So, at a minimum, your family would have to pay $22k per year OR MORE.</p>
<p>IF your income is about $30k, then obviously you can’t afford any UCs. Don’t bother applying.</p>
<p>Run the net price calculators.</p>
<p>Expect to see something approximating in-state financial aid applied to out-of-state cost of attendance. I.e. net price will be about $23,000 higher than if you were in-state. Meaning that the maximum possible financial aid will leave an out-of-state net price of around $31,500 (as opposed to around $8,500 for in-state).</p>
<p>A few rare large merit scholarships (e.g. Drake at Berkeley for mechanical engineering majors) cover out-of-state costs (most merit scholarships at UCs are small). Not sure if Regents’ scholarships do – call and ask if interested (may vary by campus). But don’t get your hopes up too high.</p>
