<p>I didn't get into my top choices (Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD) but I did get into Saint Louis University and these other schools I don't really care about so my two options are:</p>
<p>Saint Louis University or go to community college for two years and then TAG for UCSD/UC Davis and apply for UCLA or UC Berkeley?</p>
<p>Help me choose. Give me your input. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Are you getting any financial aid at SLU?</p>
<p>My dad makes too much for us to qualify for financial aid anywhere. In the Silicon Valley, it’s just considered “middle class”. I’m pretty sure anywhere else it would be VERY well off. I did file for FAFSA to be able to work on campus, etc.</p>
<p>Also, we bought our house for $380K in 1998 BRAND NEW and now it’s worth $1 Million. Yeah, our home prices didn’t decrease that much even though we are going through tough economic times. So home equity as well as high income doesn’t qualify us for financial aid. </p>
<p>I am getting $12K every year in scholarship though.</p>
<p>Did you apply to any other UC’s? You can go to UC Riverside if you are UC eligible.</p>
<p>I would go there or UCSC.</p>
