<p>Can anyone please answer this for me? Is it easier to transfer to UCs as an international student? Or California resident has priority over transfer to UCs? I know some of you may feel like it's not a good question. However, due to the budget cut, I wonder if California's college system would give priority to international student or out-of-state student for they have to pay more?</p>
<p>It’s never easier for int. student. However, if there are two students with similar stats (good GPA, mediocre EC, decent essay), then the int. student may have a slight advantage because he/she will be paying more. But of course, coming from CCC will give you the top priority, regardless of your residency status</p>
<p>what？？？
we are the tax payer. how can uc take in int when int has similar stats with resident.</p>
<p>I hear people say, UC would take the resident if int happen to have similar stats.</p>
<p>I say “may”, not always the case lol. But quite frankly, you don’t need to care about this if you have good stats :).</p>
<p>International transfer applicants have the lowest priority. CCC transfers have first priority, then other California transfers, then out-of-state transfers, then international.</p>
<p>International students who are attending CCC are sort of in-between because they are well prepared academically (meeting the transfer requirements) but have lower priority because of their status (international).</p>
