<p>I suggest you visit College Navigator ([College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)) and research your schools. Being OOS will make all the UCs, Michigan & Wisconsin a tougher admit. Google the UC freshman profiles and you’ll see that 95+% of the student bodies are California residents, that means you’re going to have to stand out in order to be noticed, (UCSD is by far the toughest to get into).</p>
