<p>And if you're and American citizen living abroad but still not a resident would you be considered an International student or OOS?</p>
<p>It is difficult for CA residents to get in. It is a public school suported by CA tax dollars so CAli students get priority. They are admitting more out of state for the extra income they bring, but still hard to get in. I don’t think international or OOS would affect admission decision either way as the non resident fees are the same.</p>
<p>Here are the statistics from 2010 from the web site college navigator:</p>
<p>Percentage of OOS or foreign students on each campus:</p>
<p>UCB: 27%
UCLA: 13%
UCSD: 6%
UCSB: 5%
UCI: 4%
UCD: 3%
UCSC: 1%
UCR: 0%</p>
<p>I suspect the numbers will be higher this year, as most campuses have been actively recruiting OOS and foreign students (especially from China) to increase revenue. I’ll be particularly interested in the numbers from Davis this year, as many well qualified CA kids were denied from that campus. The minimum academic requirements for OOS/foreign students are higher than for CA residents, and most who qualify probably would not consider mid tier UC’s the best value for them.</p>
