<p>Hey ya'll,
I'm a high school sophomore living in Missouri...yeah "Misery" and recently I've been dreaming about going to a UC school! My first was UC Irvine, but then after more researching I really, really, really want to go to UCSD!!! Just want to know the chances of getting accepted out of state and what are ya'll's stats if you were accepted out of state?!
:)
*haha sorry for stupid username...usually I just use my real name but apparently they don't want you to do that on here and i decided to choose something random?? xD LOL JUMPINGSTAR XD</p>
<p>Jumping:</p>
<p>My son got into UCLA last year. From out of state.</p>
<p>On the one hand, they obviously covet the out of state tuition.</p>
<p>On the other hand, they take far less out of state students than does Michigan, for example.</p>
<p>besides nearby Black’s Beach, what is so attractive to you about UCSD that you would be willing to pay OOS rates to attend?</p>
<p>btw: Mizzou is an excellent school, and a whole lot less expensive.</p>
<p>They really, really, love OOS students at UCs these days. That’s because they pay $50K/yr or more to attend, and there is no financial aid available to cover the OOS fee. So if your parents are willing to pony up to send you to CA let me thank them (and you) in advance for helping subsidize the students at the UC schools.</p>
<p>UCSD has a 10 percent cap. In 2012, they admitted about 7500 out-of-state students but didn’t reach that cap. The trend is to admit more each year. </p>
<p>Just keep in mind that while there are some excellent UC schools, they are still public schools. We live in San Diego and were told by the admissions staff that students should plan on taking another quarter or two… not so bad for instate… pretty pricey for out of state. I also know that UCSD students can struggle to get certain general eds completed before graduation due to availability.</p>
<p>If it’s location that is calling you (and being a local, I can absolutely understand the appeal) you might at least look at some of the private school options like USD, USC… there are a bunch in southern CA. If price isn’t an option though, then by all means apply. UCSD is a great school</p>
<p>My son is a freshman at UCSD this year and loves it so much we may never see him again!! That being said, I can’t imagine paying the OOS tuition for a UC education. If you are set on the San Diego area, you might look at Univ. of San Diego, a private school. It is very near UCSD but much smaller, beautiful campus, and good FA. Just a thought.</p>
<p>
Some schools let International and OOS students registering before the rest</p>
<p>And can your family afford the $50K+ OOS costs?</p>
<p>
those “some schools” are not UC’s</p>
<p>^^^ things changed every semester</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Four year graduation rates generally track admissions selectivity, so less selective schools have lower four year graduation rates. This is due to less well prepared incoming students needing remedial courses, or not being able to handle full course loads every semester or quarter.</p>
<p>At UCSD, general education requirements are determined by which residential college you are associated with, not your major.

<p>Some of them have more general education requirements than others, so being in one with lots of general education requirements (e.g. Revelle) may increase the risk of late graduation, or reduce the possibility of graduating early if that is your plan.</p>
