Are you in-state for UCLA and UCB?

3

No, I’m out of state

UCLA/UCB do not offer financial aid for OOS students, so expect to pay $55K/year to attend. You have competitive stats but even with a Regents scholarship (top 1-2%) your costs will still be significant and based on family income, definitely not worth that kind of debt. Run the Net Price calculator to confirm.

Good Luck and there are many more great schools for you.

I am no expert but you have a pretty impressive college application to me. I know a lot of the schools you are applying to, you can just never know, but I think you have a pretty solid chance.

@Gumbymom Actually Regents scholarship is even more competitive than people realize. It is awarded to only abut 0.1% of UCLA applicants (to 100 out of 100,000 applicants).

@uclaparent9: Thanks for the information about Regents. I saw on the website that the top 1.5% are invited to compete, but didn’t realize that so few are actually awarded.
