UCLA Worth the Out-of-State Costs?

<p>Hello, I have just received word that I have been accepted into UCLA. My family is in no way financially stable, so UCLA has offered my a substantial amount of aid (grants, scholarships, work-study programs). However, of the total cost of UCLA for out of state students, I am short $23,898. </p>

<p>I was wondering if this amount is worth the "UCLA experience." </p>

<p>Notes to help:
I am a biochemistry/psychology major intending to apply to medical school. I live in New Orleans, La and will go to Tulane University (only have to pay $13,000) if UCLA does not work out. I have also gotten into Emory University but was expected to pay nearly $35,000 so I am not likely to go there. </p>

<p>Any advice will help, Thanks.</p>

<p>i’d probably just go to Tulane. That additional cost is really hard to justify, especially if your family can’t afford it.</p>

<p>Not worth it. The UC financial position is uncertain, and it’s a safe bet it’ll be more expensive for OOS students in the years to come. You want to be a doctor…save your borrowing for med school.</p>
