<p>Hello, I am from Iowa and I am interested in the The University of California Berkeley. I was just wondering that if you have good enough test scores, GPA, ECs, and volunteering, is it possible to receive in state tuition at an out of state school? Please let me know as I would like to apply there if possible.</p>
<p>Nope, if you’re an out of state resident, you cannot, will not, and most likely will never be able to pay in state tuition.</p>
<p>I’m just curious. Is the Search script not working? I can swear I see this question once a week.</p>
<p>At some schools its possible, but I doubt Berkeley is one. some where u can include UGA, USC(SC), and a bunch of others that I can’t think of. Also, I got $7K/yr from FSU with a 3.6 GPA on their scale and a 1310 SAT/1600</p>
<p>If you aren’t an in-state student, you WILL have to pay the out-of-state fees for any UC. If I remember correctly, the fees are specifically exempted from all school-sponsored scholarships; even if you get a full ride you have to pay them.</p>
<p>pay out of state tuition the 1st year then apply for residency.</p>

<p>I am an out-of-state student at UC Berkeley from Texas, and during high school I had a lot of ECs, good grades and pretty good test scores, and a lot of volunteering, but I am still paying OOS tuition.
My roommate this year however, she is from Kentucky, but moved to Sacramento, CA right after high school to establish her residency and is therefore beating the system to pay in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Agree with Erin’s Dad; go to the source and you’re going see that it ain’t gonna happen:</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/ca_residency.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/ca_residency.html)</p>
<p>Do you all really think that the state of CA is going to forgo all of those dollars in OOS tuition for their incredible state system of universities?? No way.</p>
<p>mars, unless your roommate took a gap year and was financially independent, not declared on her parents taxes, and more, I don’t believe it:</p>

<p>Entomom: I’m apprehensive of her situation too, but she told me that her parents had bought a house in CA last August to establish their residency while my roommate would finish up senior year, and then move to the house in CA after graduation.</p>
<p>mars, that might take care of the residency part, but she would still have to show that she was financially independent for more than a year. Unless she’s 24 yo, a veteran, a ward of the court, has legal dependents, married or a grad student, she would have to satisfy this (from the link I cited):</p>
<p>“(6) you are a single undergraduate student who was not claimed as an income tax deduction by your parents or any other individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term for which you are requesting resident classification, and you can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those years and the current year.”</p>
<p>This would be dang hard for any HSer to do!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is that possible?</p>
<p>No, it’s not possible. California in particular closed that loophole a long time ago.</p>
<p>It definitely would be! </p>
<p>I really wonder then how Cal didn’t detect anything…I guess we’ll see.</p>
