<p>Is there a huge advantage for those who live in California but are attending out of state 4 year schools?</p>
<p>I am attending a top ten college thats not in CA but I live in CA.</p>
<p>No advantage, the biggest advantage is being from a CCC as a California resident.</p>
<p>^that’s true. There is no advantage being a California resident. It’s actually at a disadvantage that you’re going to an out-of-state post-secondary institution because you will deemed as an out-of-state transfer even though you have California residency. Your last transcript from which ever school you attend determines if you’re out-of-state or in-state transfer.</p>
<p>ok, so i will be considered an out of state transfer? would i have to pay out of state tuition if i get in?</p>
<p>Yes, you will be considered an out of state transfer but will be paying instate tuition as long as you provide proof of residency if you’re admitted.</p>
<p>I’m transferring from a 4-year private to ucla for fall 09 and yeah, it’s more difficult to get in from out-of-state, but I’m sure you’ll be fine if you have good grades/ecs/whatever. but no, you’re not at an advantage, except for tuition purposes, which is why you want to transfer, I assume?</p>
<p>im trying to transfer for the classes available at the UC’s.</p>
<p>@CKG, I assume that your GPA was <3.6??</p>
<p>Why would assume they have a gpa <3.6? That is basically the target gpa for transfers from CCCs with highest priority… if anything you should assume a gpa of 3.6 or higher for those accepted w/out any type of priority.</p>
