<p>Please help me with any advice.</p>
<p>Accepted to 1 in state college (CA) and 3 out of states.
2 out of state are essentially more expensive (more loans) and 1 out of state FA package had around the same number of loans (~10k/year for an EFC of ~1.5k) as the in state.</p>
<p>The catch is that the in state I applied to is for a major I'm not as excited about (MatE) because they didn't have my preferred major (ChemE). I can't decide whether it's worth it to take out the loans for either or just go to community college and transfer because I've worked hard in high school (2200 SAT/4.0 UW/4.3 W) and it seems a waste to end up at a CC.</p>
