<p>Also can you guys help me out with a list of colleges that are appropriate for me?</p>

3

<p>Are you applying to the UCs as an in-state Cal student or an international?</p>

<p>Your college list seems pretty appropriate for the scores and extracurriculars you mentioned in your first post.</p>

<p>Im not sure if Ill be in state or out of state, but I’ll be applying as a US Citizen for sure. There isn’t a clear place where I understood the concept of In state Tution / Out State Tution. </p>

<p>Any other colleges that are at my level? Im interested in Aerospace or BioChemistry.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Aerospace! Bro-fist! Georgia Tech is a great school for aerospace. You should definitely apply there. In fact, if I am not mistaken, it is one of the top schools for aerospace. Your citizenship will help you quite a bit. Very broadly, you are in-state if you own land property in that state (and are a citizen of the USA). But you should check me on that.</p>

<p>I’d say that you have a decent chance at UCSC, UCDavis and UIUC. I don’t know about the rest though. Good luck!</p>

<p>PS. 666 posts MUAHAHA. HSL here I come.</p>

<p>There are pages and pages of legal jargon on whether you are in-state or out of state. I think you have to prove your residency by owning land in that state or a license plate from that state. You can also have an State ID or a driver’s license from that state, but I don’t think any of these by themselves prove residency or intent of residency. If you or your family files taxes in that state, you are definitely in-state. Actually living in a state and going to school there or having a permanent residence in that state for a long time also proves residency.</p>

<p>Essentially you are just proving you live in that state and intend/or to live in it for quite some time. State schools are funded by state money, so if you are a taxpayer or intend to be a taxpayer once you’re out of school you are considered for reduced tuition.</p>

<p>If it’s not obvious that you live there then you can appeal, usually.</p>

<p>I lived in Cali for 12years, my parents pay taxes there. They also have valid licenses in that state, but currently I’m in a foreign country</p>

<p>Since you have Californian residency, you should definitely apply to the UCs you mentioned as well as UC Berkeley. You have a major advantage there. Also, Stanford may seem very farfetched, but do apply since they have, by charter, 45% of their students from within California.</p>

<p>These two would be reach schools, but they are top notch and worth the try and ambition.</p>
