<p>You know, I would just tell the employer you will be available to transfer on X date and avoid the whole issue.</p>
<p>Unless you really want to move in order to take advantage of in state rates at a UC, but even then it's risky--the top UC's have their pick of students who have been in CA and have met all requirements--being a transfer student your daughter may well be at a disadvantage and would have to go to one of the crappy UC's or a JC and then transfer. </p>
<p>Personally, I'd just put myself on the do not transfer list for as long as it takes to her through high school. I did that w/ my employer-told them I could not move until 2009 and they were cool w/ it and worked to accomodate me.</p>
<p>The location is in Orange County, CA. I am trying to delay the move or avoid it. But it is a good opportunity for me. On the other hand, D#2 seems doing very well in school; enjoying her class, ECs. It would be a disruption to her if I moved her.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion on checking the graduation requirements of CA school. I never thought of that.</p>
<p>D#2 does not know where she wants to go or what she wants to do. She is a very happy, easy going kid yet very independent. We never targeted of going to a school in CA before, but, if I take the job, Id most want her to attending one thats closer. (She would be fine anywhere, its me that would feeling total lost if she is too far a way)</p>
<p>I think there are special circumstances for a dependent student whose parent relocates to CA. I'd work on delaying the transfer for a few months meanwhile have her apply OOS to the UC's that interest her. If you have to move prior to the end of the school year you could just get a studio and camp until you can move your family after the end of the school year--families do that all the time. </p>
<p>If she's admitted to one of the UC's I'd ask how you go about getting in state tuition since you have relocated and by the time she starts school the family will presumably be settled in CA.</p>
