<p>*I believe my family is middle class. I don’t like the atmosphere. Good question, obviously a test doesn’t measure my intelligence if I manage to achieve straight A’s. *</p>
<p>Calif publics don’t superscore.</p>
<p>Your school may have grade inflation if your grades are that high, yet your scores are modest. </p>
<p>What atmosphere do you dislike at Riverside? How much time have you actually spent on campus? </p>
<p>You need to run the NPC’s on the UC and CSU websites. If your family is middle class, but can’t pay much, you’re going to have trouble paying for college. Your FA pkgs will ALREADY have full loans in them…so you won’t be able to borrow more. Besides, premed students shouldn’t borrow much ANYWAY. </p>
<p>Your parents would have to qualify and cosign add’l loans. BAD idea and they probably wouldn’t agree to it anyway. Most parents won’t do that. </p>
<p>Be sure to also apply to the CSU and UC that you can commute to.</p>
