Yes. Really. Anyone who has taken and paid attention in a basic science class in the last decade that had any discussion of genetics should know about UCSC and its heavy involvement with the project and its work before it officially joined.</p>
<p>I kept my comment brief without giving extensive detail because the quality of the school is not the focus of the thread nor should it be a factor of consideration. The fact that a student is allowing her family to risk eviction just to fund her education at a university that is obviously too expensive is. It is horrifying that anyone could be in this position no matter what school they are attending.</p>
<p>I politely request that you be respectful and keep the discussion to this topic as this thread is located in the financial aid and scholarship forum. There is a UCSC forum where you can create a thread to further discuss the qualifications and accomplishments of the school if you so wish.</p>

How does such a committee work anyways? Is counseling offered at the application process to college or sooner? Have you seen any positive results? Does one approach seem more effective than another that the committee has used?</p>
<p>I’m curious to leech ideas off of you so I can perhaps write someone about this issue and back it up with methods that have worked in your state :). I’m incredibly bothered by this article the more I think about it and I wonder how many other students are in similar positions at schools in California.</p>
