<p>Here is what my family has made the past 2 years
2009- $51600
2010- $44400</p>
<p>For the UC’s, what is considered income low Income? and am I considered low income?</p>
<p>After looking for a while on the internet the only link I found that addresses this issue is a footnote found at the bottom of page 3 on this link.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/news/factsheets/2010/freshman_admit_profile_2010.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/news/factsheets/2010/freshman_admit_profile_2010.pdf</a></p>
<p>I am only confused because for 2009 I am above $45,000 wheras for 2010 I am under it.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>and there is a total of 4 people in my household (myself, little bro, mom, and dad)</p>
<p>This is late, but I’ll post it for future reference.</p>
<p>According to the US Census Bureau, median income for a family of 4 in California is $77596. I would say you’re low income because your family’s making under what 50% of people with similar circumstances in the state are making.</p>
<p>Would it be a problem if I put last year’s income in the spot where you check if you’re eligible for the fee waiver? I know the income hasn’t changed by much, and my parent’s couldn’t tell me this year’s income yet.</p>
<p>I am still very confused</p>
<p>According to the Link above 45k and below is low income.</p>
<p>but I am very confused because according to the UCSD description: [UC</a> San Diego Comprehensive Review Admission Process: Freshman Selection](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/freshmen/eval-process.html]UC”>http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/freshmen/eval-process.html)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Does this mean there is a chart that tells you based upon size of family and income if you are low income or not?</p>
<p>I have only seen one such chart. It was on the ACT fee waiver and it said the for family of 4 low income is when they make under $37300</p>
<p>Maybe the ACT has different standards than the UC’s. </p>
<p>So let me get this straight… The UC’s do not care how little or huge your family size is as long as you are under the $45,000 barrier you are considered low income?</p>

<p>Sorry guys, I don’t know. Probably the best thing to do is to email the UCs at:
