- Yes, I have. My parents said they would be able to afford most of the schools on my list, though it may not be easy for them. They told me not to worry since they will make it work. I think they understand the financial aspects since they have gone through it with my brother. Plus, I am applying to quite a few schools, so I hope that will allow for more options.</p>

<li><p>Yes, I am a CA resident.</p></li>
<li><p>I will look into these, thanks.</p></li>
<li><p>True. I am just worried that it is adding yet another super-lofty reach. I’m also not sure I will thrive in a very “techy” environment. I am still considering it and I will definitely keep it in my periphery. </p></li>
<li><p>This is helpful! Alabam sounds look a good option for a true financial safety. I will look more into the school to see if I would want to attend. I’ll also check out some other schools on that list.</p></li>
<li><p>Oh, I did not notice that. I will probably drop Cal Poly SLO since it doesn’t have ChemE and I don’t like how difficult it is to switch majors since I’m not set on what I want to do. I may not apply to any CSUs then because I think UCSB and UCD are safeties for me? (and I prefer them over CSUs)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you!</p>
