By the way - Merced and several of the CSUs participate in WUE - which will keep your tuition sane.
Boise, Portland, Western Wash are others on the list to take a look at.
@Happy2Help Yup. My safe schools I think are UCR and UCM. But my goals are UCLA,UCB,UCI,UCD,UCSD
Reminder, you need to be able to pay your fees upfront. No matter what you do to get in, if you don’t have the cash, you won’t be registered and they will dismiss you from classes immediately where someone else is ready to snatch that spot.
We will be getting our daughter’s UC bill for the fall quarter soon. Although we are instate, it’s still a lot of cash upfront. Some UCs only allow certain credit cards for payment, so if your parents don’t qualify for that credit card, you are outta luck-I wouldn’t recommend a cc for paying the bill anyway.
My son’s private school bill is already online. I’m fortunate that my husband is a planner and saved money in a 529 account for all 3 of our children since they were infants.
No financial aid at the UCs for OOS, and you can’t pay the bill after you take the classes. I know you don’t want to deal with hearing that, but that will hit you first.
Absolutely right. I can afford it, and I’m financially stable enough. I just wanna get into the uc schools with my hard work and dedication but the tuition and fees will be payed through parents hopefully
Great, CA needs the extra $$$$$ as the UC system is contemplating a fee increase.
If you’re willing to have your parents pay over $200,000, for your education. Bring it!
The State will be happy to accept it; but let your parents know they won’t be getting much of a tax break on their Nevada nor federal taxes.
Actually the UC spent $32 million on financial aid for nonresidents in 2013-14

I have seen you quote this number before as if it is some huge amount. Actually, given the size of the UC system, it is tiny. Sure, politicians love to make a big thing out of it because $32 million could certainly be useful elsewhere. But lets break that down.
According to a comprehensive UC report, http://legacy-its.ucop.edu/uwnews/stat/ (click on the very first one, Fall 2013) On Page 16 it states that there were 188,290 undergraduates system-wide. 24,304 were OOS. So $32,000,000 divided by 24,304 = $1,316.66 per student. Hardly a windfall that cuts deeply into the $58,000 price tag.
Even 10x that amount, $320,000,000 or $13,166 per OOS student, would leave the UC system with a net gain compared to in state. Just shows how stupid the politicians are, complaining about such a small amount compared to the tens of thousands of $$$ per student, or around $1 billion extra if I did the math right, the OOS payments represent. Now there is a big number.
