Out-of-state and UCLA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>My parents just told me yesterday that my family will be moving to California before the end of my senior year so I started looking at a few California schools and I was wondering if UCLA has different acceptance rates for in-state vs. out-of-state applicants. My address would not change until after acceptance/rejection letters are sent out and I don't want to waste my time applying if I'm for sure going to get rejected :/.</p>

<p>I ask this question because according to college board,
91% In-state students
9% Out-of-state students
Is this just because there aren't as many oos applicants?</p>

<p>thankssss :D</p>

<p>According to last years stats, the number of Out-of-state applicants was about 3% (while international was roughly 16%) so there are very little out-of-state applicants. But this is mainly due to having to pay out of state tuition (which you might have to pay for, at least for your first year.)</p>

<p>It might not hurt to try to get into contact with UCLA’s financial aid office and explain your situation to them to see what’s available to you (in person would probably be better if you can make it.)</p>

<p>They actually like you better that you are OOS (due to the higher amounts you will be paying initially). Definitely give it a shot if you think you are competitive</p>

<p>That would seem kind of lousy to have to pay OOS tuition in that situation, but maybe only for one year?</p>

<p>I am oos and applied to UCLA for theatre. Do you think they would be more willing to accept me because I do not need financial aid? I spent the summer at UCLA at their performing arts camp and have stayed in contact with some of the faculty. UCLA is my dream school and I really want to get in!!</p>

They don’t take need into account when they make decisions, as far as I know, but the UC system has also announced it will be accepting more OOS students because they pay OOS fees and the UC system wants that money. So my understanding is that you’re not more likely to be accepted than other OOS students because you have no FA need, but your likelihood of acceptance as an OOS student has increased.</p>
