<p>am i pretty much screwed in terms of financial aid?? =/</p>
<p>in short, yes.</p>
<p>so it doesn’t even matter if my EFC is pretty low??</p>
<p>that sucks because I really wanna go to UCLA ughh</p>
<p>This should have been obvious at some point in the process, but OOS UC attendance is a high-cost affair. For one, the fee they charge to out of state applicants is not at all covered by financial aid – that’s a good ten grand or more you can’t get loans or grants for (though I think you can PLUS loan it).</p>
<p>In short? You undoubtedly have better options, financially speaking.</p>
