<p>Financial aid will be a definite factor. OOS will be a big factor.
Santa Clara=no, USan Diego=no, based on grades and limited ec’s; no sports??? California is big on Sports.
SF State Univ= yes because it is a public school and they need OOS dollars. No scholarships available to OOS; State of California is broke.</p>

<p>Thank you for your response!</p>

<p>My mom works long hours so I wasn’t really able to get involved in many activities until my junior year of high school. </p>

<p>I meant the private University of San Francisco, not the public one! Sorry for not being more clear. </p>

<p>I used to live in California, and my mom pays property taxes for the state still since we weren’t able to sell our condo when we moved from there to North Carolina due to the real estate crash. Even though we pay property tax, and have lived there for about four years, there’s no way I would qualify for in-state tuition right? We can’t afford OOS tuition. I’m applying to a lot of private schools outside of my state (NC) that seem to provide grants.</p>
