<p>I’m buying a lottery ticket the next time I go out.</p>
<p>yeah, after the budget cuts for UCs…well, I’m definitely not going to a UC anymore. oh well.</p>
<p>It’s times like these that I wish my parents were extremely rich.</p>
<p>^you sound like a ■■■■■</p>

<p>OOS? Your FA wasn’t going to be decent anyway. In-state, it probably wouldn’t make much difference.</p>
<p>I still regret not making much of an effort on the UCLA Regents app, or it would have been nice if they just gave it to me like UCSD. lol</p>
<p>Not OOS, just one of my siblings went to private, one to a UC (and UC turned out to be more expensive for my parents). </p>
<p>It seems to me that tuition is just going to keep going up. I won’t get any FA at a UC. On the other hand, private colleges can be very generous with FA. At least for my sister, private was cheaper than UC Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>FULL RIDE! (with laptop lol)</p>
<p>My parents are paying about 25k a year… It’s like 20% of our income… And they’re not making me take out loans or work… Though I probably will work because I’m a workaholic… So I’m basically incredibly blessed to have parents who will take care of my undergrad education.</p>
<p>Also… We have no savings… Like <20k… Well at least we’ve got first year covered…</p>
