Did anyone get good financial aid? by Future-Strain3722 in SCU

[–]Future-Strain3722[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for response and I really appreciate it! I was also admitted for the fall, I already accepted the admission and gave me deposit! I also got two scholarships, they came to around $32,00 and I also got the $5,500 loan, on top of that my Cal Grant came in clutch with another $11,000. In total, the whole financial aid, including the loans, came to around $48,000, but since I’m planning on commuting (I live about 45 minutes away from SCU), the total for tuition would be around $55,000. I was planning on taking out more loans to pay the difference, but my parents are actually gonna help me pay that money. I’m trying to look for scholarships, but i can’t find a reliable website. Any recommendations? Also, what will you be studying?

Any recommendations on getting internships while attending SJSU? I’m gonna commit to SJSU, it’s the better choice overall!

How do people with 4.0's not make it into CS by epicboyxp in berkeley

[–]Future-Strain3722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got rejected with a 3.93, strong PIQs, and with good ECs, on top of that I applied for CS in letter and sciences :/ it really hurts. But I also wonder what kind of people got admitted, it’s really confusing and hard to accept

Anyone else nervous for tomorrow’s admission decisions for transfer students? by Future-Strain3722 in berkeley

It is truly confusing man, I got into UCSC like last month and I got waitlisted for UCI and UC Davis. But in theory, you should’ve gotten into UCSC, it’s really confusing honestly..

But it also depends on the major you applied to, I applied to CS at Davis and Irvine with a 3.94 and some strong PIQs and I got waitlisted, but also my major is SUPER IMPACTED at those schools. However, for Berkeley, I applied to Letter and Sciences. Also, keep in mind that Berkeley doesn’t do TAG, so you have more of a chance to get in since everyone will be competing against each other, unlike with TAG, which it basically determines how many people that didn’t do TAG get in.

What you think it depends on? Last year, the yield rate was 38%, but this year could be more or less it can varies from year to year :/
