<p>@enchant try filling out the “special circumstances form”</p>
<p>if UCB is your school, go their and do what you have to do to pay for it</p>
<p>any chance at all you can go visit ? Upenn is a big deal…but i would never go to a school i’ve never seen</p>
<p>If your package from Penn is close to the one CMC offered you, you need to get yourself to Penn!</p>
<p>If you like Cal, but don’t like CMC, Penn will likely appeal to you, as well. I would not give the opportunity to attend Penn for less than Cal. On the other hand, of the three CMC would get my vote.</p>
<p>I think Penn would be closer in spirit to Berkeley than CMC. Overall, you’d get a more personable education at CMC, but if you can’t imagine yourself liking environment someday…that great financial aid package won’t be worth it. I hope you’re more settled after you see CMC. :)</p>
