Just got into UCLA, now thinking $$$

<p>My EFC was about 6000 and the Scholarship Recognition Award is offering me $14,770. I’m in-state but I didn’t qualify for Cal Grants. How did they determine how much everyone gets?</p>

<p>My EFC was 0$. I got 19,000$</p>

<p>I’m confused!! SO the total estimated aid, is the money they are giving me right? </p>

<p>Is the expected family contribution a total of everything I have to pay?</p>

<p>Is the net cost aid, what I have to pay back to them later? I don’t really understand what it all means!!</p>

<p>

Dang, I’m sorry…how much of the <em>looks at website</em> $29,702 is room/board/other unnecessary fees?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>About 5 grand, though he can tack on $22k for OOS</p>

<p>EFC: 1700</p>

<p>COA: 29K</p>

<p>Gift Aid Total: ~19K
Pell Grant: 3900
ACG: 750
Cal Grant: 10300
UCLA Grant: 5000</p>

<p>Net Cost: 10K
basically loans + federal work study</p>

<p>dont go to ucla fools</p>

<p>in state, EFC 3k Gift Aid-26k </p>

<p>so… I guess that works out perfectly to their 29k huh? haha</p>

<p>hey i tried going there and it kept on saying “this website is for ucla students only” does that mean i have to file the SIR before i see the finaicial aids becuase im already accepted i thought that’s all i needed to see the Finaicial aid</p>

<p>i didnt submit the SIR </p>

<p>and theres no way you’d have to because you need to see financial information before you decide on a shcool, try it again make sure you’re doing it right</p>

<p>dkdkdk, how did you receive so much gift aid, my EFC is 0 and i only got 20500 in gift aid.</p>

<p>i was wondering the same thing. no way you’re getting 26k with an EFC of 3k</p>

<p>Regents Scholarship? Or he’s counting loans.</p>

<p>If we choose cal grant B, will UCLA make up the difference from declining cal grant A?</p>

<p>steven, if that were the case, everyone would choose Cal grant B</p>

<p>I have an EFC of $817 and $28,800 in gift aid (grants and univeristy scholarhsips). However, this is because I’m a Regents scholar and have all my aid met.</p>
