I just finished my financial aid last week and have EFC=0.
I have applied to UC Berkeley, LA, Irvine, and San Diego. I also applied and got accepted into NAU, CSUF, Cal Poly Pomona, SDSU, and SFSU. I'm thinking I can probably get into UCI and UCSD, but I'm hoping that I'll also get into Berkeley and LA. I have a GPA of around 4.5 (about 3.9 or 3.8 weighted), take college classes at my community college, passed 5 AP exams with 3's (and also taking 3 AP classes this year), volunteered for the Red Cross, am officer for two clubs, and was on varsity tennis for two years.
Now for the question: About how much money might I receive? Is there a chance that I will get a full ride to any of those UC's? I'm kinda in a fix here cuz neither I nor my family have enough money for me to go to a UC without a near full ride but I'm determined to go to a UC. My dad would also prefer for me not get a loan.
Oh and while I'm at it....what are my chances of getting into Berkeley? Thanks!
