OOS student; in state tuition?

<p>My wife works at Berkeley, which will allow me to pay in-state tuition, even though--technically--I am an OOS transfer from a CC. Does this hurt me, since there is a short-fall within the budget?</p>

<p>My scores, activities, awards, etc. are pretty okay--I'm an English major. Plus, I'm a disabled vet and an "older student" (just turned 30). I was just wondering what people thought, since I have been obsessing with this Berkeley B.S. for some months. Thanks.</p>
