<p>@ucbalumnus my safety school is FIU, which I have already been accepted to. In Florida, there is the Bright Futures Scholarship, and I also happened to have prepaid college, so its pretty much set for all of the public universities in Florida. I don’t know where I mentioned the UCs as potential safeties, but I understand your concern. I am hoping the provided financial aid, given that I am accepted, on top of scholarships will help with costs if I am to attend either of the two UCs.</p>
