What is UC San Diego for me - match or reach? Read and chance me please!

<p>@engineering2015‌: You will get very little if any financial aid from any of the UC’s or CSU’s. If you could only afford around $20K, like the above posters stated your parents would be responsible for the rest. I would look to your in-state schools or look at some California privates which might give you some merit aid especially if you can raise your ACT score. You might want to consider the Claremont Colleges: Pomona or Harvey Mudd. </p>
