<p>Decent E.C. and essays.</p>

<p>I'm also applying to Berkeley, Davis, San Diego, but LA is my top choice.
Would not being a perement resident significantly hurt my chances?</p>

<p>well, im a california resident. at least for tuition purposes..</p>

4

<p>Im also Asian who has been living in CA for 5 yrs.</p>

<p>Im curious about how UCs consider internationals living in CA</p>

<p>Am I still a CA resident for admissions(Not tuition) purposes?</p>

<p>Test scores are pretty high, but GPA is pretty low. I'd say that, if you were applying L&S, you'd still have a good chance at getting in. Otherwise, especially engineering, those stats put you at a disadvantage. How are you considered a resident without a green card o O;;</p>

<p>i think your residency for tuition purpose depends on if your parents also live/work/pay taxes here in California.</p>

<p>i am a US citizen who lived in California for 4 years prior to coming to ucla, but i was considered oos and had to pay oos tuition because my parents are not residents.</p>

<p>but don't quote me on that. better direct your question to admissions.</p>

<p>wait, eric- did you graduate from a CA high school? if you did, you're supposed to be paying resident tuition... at least there's something in the course catalog mentioning that...</p>

8

<p>when i looked into it, i need to be in a CA high school for 3 years. i've only been for two</p>
