<p>I am a NJ Resident High School Senior,</p>
<p>I was admitted to UCSD for undergrad BioE: Pre Med, only problem is it will cost me 35,000 dollars a year in student loans.</p>
<p>I realy really really want to live in Berkeley/SF area when I am an adult, and I know being admitted to their BioE GRADUATE program would be much easier coming from UCSD, just cuz of the BioE reupation…</p>
<p>My question is this: Do the UC graduate departments look at residency when accepting students? For undergraduate it is much easier for CA residents to gain acceptance to a UC school, does this “residency rule” apply for graduate students who live out of state applying to the UC GRAD schools (specifically berkeley).</p>
<p>I could go to Rutgers in NJ for my undergrad, and work my ass off for 4 years, then apply to UCB for GRAD school. That would only cost me 10,000 dollars a year versus 35,000 dollars a year… Any input? please help I’m freaking out… I know its 4 years away but i like to plan ahead…</p>
