[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes they give merit. Friend's kid is there with like 30K in merit. I get the sense the full price is sticker price and many pay 4-5-K. [quote=Anonymous]Son is a straight-A STEM kid, loves sports and California. Otherwise pretty ordinary, doesn't have great extra-curriculars aside from team sports. He's planning to study engineering or physics and is applying to UMD, Michigan, Purdue, and the UC system. He's also interested in Santa Clara because it's in CA and easy to get into. I don't know anything about it, and it's one of the priciest schools he's applying to. We're trying to discourage privates as we can't afford most of them. Any thoughts on whether it's worth the cost? Do they give merit aid? What kind of vibe?[/quote] [/quote] Cost of attending Santa Clara is $78K a year. It's like Pepperdine or Occidental. Very expensive and not worth it anymore. If OP's kid can get into a UC school, by all means do it.[/quote] The UC is the same price for oos and you get housing problems, restricted majors and huge classes.[/quote] UC is not the same price for OOS. It's 20K less.[/quote] Huh? UC says OOS total cost of attendance direct costs are $72,636. Santa Clara says total cost of attendance direct costs are $77,208. Assume same indirect costs for travel, incidentals, etc.[/quote]
