<p>Since you are OOS for California, the price tag for a Cal State will be around $30K and $55K for UC’s. Cal State San Bernardino would be a waste of money. If you want to look at the Cal States, you should consider the higher ranking schools such as San Diego State, Long Beach, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Fullerton and Cal Poly SLO. For SDSU,CSULB and SLO (especially), need to get that SAT score up to 1800+ or more. SLO is the most competitive Cal State. OOS students get little or no financial aid from the UC’s and Cal States, so the price tag is high unless you go to one of the higher ranking Cal States. </p>
