<p>Many students go to CC and transfer to UCI but the catch is that most are in-state residents. This child doesn’t want to go to CC; he definitely does not have the stats, money or grades that are competitive enough for our UC schools. The differential fee of $23k will be due and he’s already said that momma and dadda aint paying JACK. OP, if you’re dealing with reality and still reading: the State of California is hurting for money and will not give OOS students any money. You can’t afford our UC fees of $55,000. Go to community college, or go flip burgers.</p>
