<p>I was accepted to UCI for this Fall with 13,000 fin aid. But since my brother's admission to college recently got cancelled, which will make him not going any college this year, my gift aid is significantly reduced down to 2,000. Even with some loans, I absolutely can't afford to go UCI all year. </p>
<p>I can either withdraw this Fall quarter and work full-time, and go back to UCI in Winter quarter(I still need to get loans), or I should just wait til my brother goes college with me next year, so I can get some decent amount of financial aid again. I will have to re-apply for admission for that, though. </p>
<p>I didn't sign a TAG and missed 2 major pre-req for UCSD last time, so my mom wants me to try again for UCSD this year. I, on the other hand, just want to withdraw one quarter and go back UCI to in Winter. I already have 72 units and just don't wanna wait another full year :-(</p>
<p>Any advice? :-]</p>
