Does anyone know if UCSF is generally considered to be generous with financial aid? Additionally, is USCF open to negotiating financial aid offers? Just trying to get a better idea of what to expect with the $$ from this school.
They're not going to be on par with private schools who have funding for financial aid. But it also depends on your own financial position. 5 years ago, as someone coming from a decently well-off family, it was on par for me with other UC offers I had, and still cheaper than my private option because of the sheer tuition difference. But I met a few accepted students with financial need who had better aid offers at private institutions.
Edit: At least when I was there, there was always a slot of time during ASW that was reserved for accepted students to visit the financial aid office and ask questions about their offers.
