<p>See, I plugged the numbers into the Berkeley and the CSU Financial Aid calculator gave me that Berkeley/the UCs would still be about $2000 more, but that really isn’t that big of a difference.</p>
<p>The only reason we’re considering that ED would make a difference is it gives me two chances to apply, in essence, and thus I’m considered by the college twice. </p>
<p>Honestly, the more I think about it, SLO isn’t a bad school, I just don’t want to shut down all my options; SLO isn’t as recognized as Berkeley but it’s education (undergrad) is still pretty strong, right?</p>
