<p>I'm an incoming freshman considering doing summer session next year (between freshman and sophomore year). I plan on taking a chemistry class (if I don't get it during winter / spring quarter) and physics to prepare for the MCAT; this will be about 8 units, 11 units if I also take the chem lab. I will be staying on campus.</p>
<p>My family EFC is 0 and, unfortunately, I think it will continue to stay like that next year.</p>
<p>How much would it cost and what would financial aid for the summer sessions look like?</p>
<p>Also, how hard is it to get classes?</p>
<p>2013 Summer Sessions fees are $271 per unit. There are also Instructional Enhancement and registration fees. Refer to [UCLA</a> Summer Sessions-Fees-Fees](<a href=“http://www.summer.ucla.edu/fees/fees.htm]UCLA”>http://www.summer.ucla.edu/fees/fees.htm).</p>
<p>Summer aid may include University Grant, Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, Work-Study, and various loans.</p>
<p>Summer classes are easy to get if you are fast; summer registration is first-come-first-served, so they’re as easy as you are quick with your computer mouse. Summer classes usually take longer to full up.</p>
<p>You can get a free ride for the summer if you have a 0 EFC. I have a 2 EFC and I’m getting a full ride right now for the summer. The summer courses barely fill up. No one wants to take classes during the summer.</p>
<p>@phospholipase Thanks for telling me how much it costs. For some reason I had problems finding that even though I could find the info on grants and whatnot.</p>
<p>@philosoup Thanks for the reply. It helps put my mind at ease a little.</p>
