<p>OK. I was rejected from UCLA, UCSD and UCB and waitlisted by UC Davis. I am an immigrant from China and became a CA resident in 2010. However, I did not attend high school in California. But again I AM A CA RESIDENT and elibigle for Cal Grant Competitive Award. So do you guys think I am eligible for Statewide Path. I check UC Application website and found I am top 9%. I believe my quailification is very good. But no UC acceptence up to now!</p>

<p>Here is my stats
SAT Math 750 Reading 570 Writing 700
SAT II Physics 800 Math II 800
GPA 3.75</p>

<p>I hope you guys can help me. Any reply will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>It is my understanding that to be eligible in the statewide context, the applicant must have attended high school in the state of California. The eligibility pathways are for students attending California high schools. If I am wrong about that, and you do have statewide eligibility, you will be placed in a referral pool and offered a spot at a campus with room. I hope you opted-in to the Davis waitlist. My D was accepted there but won’t be attending, so hopefully that opens a spot up for you! Good luck.</p>

<p>Were you told in writing you’re eligible for competitive? Were you a resident when you graduated high school? That’s the eligibility rule listed on CSAC. It sounds like you were… if so, then that’s why you’re eligible and not because of simply being a resident right now. The rule is to prevent people from gaining residency post high school graduation just to get aid from the state without having paid taxes as a resident prior to that.</p>

<p>Residency requirements are different depending on whether it is for tuition purposes, cal grant qualifications, or whether you fit the definition of eligibility in the statewide context that is established for graduates of California high schools. Qualifying for one doesn’t necessarily mean qualifying for all. I don’t know the different nuances myself, however a document exists at <a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/ogc/documents/uc-residence-policy.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/ogc/documents/uc-residence-policy.pdf&lt;/a&gt; that might provide some guidance for you. If you do meet the eligibility requirement for the statewide path, it doesn’t guarantee acceptance to a particular campus, but it does mean the uc system will find a spot at one of the campuses. Maybe Santa Cruz, but it might be Riverside or Merced. Applications were up at all of the campuses, so it is difficult to guess where space might be available. You might not hear until all SIRs are in, and all of the waitlists have been gone through.</p>
