<p>California schools, especially UCs, do not have money. You will need to get lots of scholarships…and I do mean LOTS. We are instate and would have to pay $20k a year to send student there. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think that reading score is a deal breaker for UCB. Even if you major in STEM you will still need to take classes that will require you to be able to read at a college level. You need to get that score waaaaaay up.</p>
