<p>CSU (min GPA 2.0… if you have higher than 3.0 SAT scores aren’t even required, I think) are generally easier to get into than UCs. UCR is pretty much one of the easier UCs to get into when compared to UCLA, etc. </p>
<p>Yeah. I’m trying to graduate with minimal debt. Cal grants are for California schools only. I will probably go to UCR instead since I would only need to pay about 4k-6k. Do you think it would be worth it to call them and see if there would be any possible way to receive more grant money? They offered me a free application. All I had to do was send them an email saying I was interested. I realize that I should not complain about 4k-6k, but if there is even a slight chance to receive more money, I would go through the process.</p>
