Is it Worth the Time and Effort?

Is it worth applying to UCB and UCLA if I’m OOS and need a lot of scholarships in order to attend. I don’t want loans, but I know most scholarships go to native Californians. Should I still apply?

If you cannot afford to be full pay, it is a waste of your time and money.

Agreed.

Agree ^^^^. If a school is not affordable, not worth the application fee.

Agree^4. Unless you cure cancer between now and the time they roll out FA, you’re not going to get scholarships/be able to afford those schools. Take your parents out to dinner with the money you would’ve spent on the application fee.
