<p>I think the UCs are more of an admit/deny system. If you have the grades, we’ll admit you from OOS, but if you can’t pay for it, too bad. OTOH, if you have some wealthy relatives, or 'rents have money stashed away from fafsa – and many do – y’all are welcome to come.</p>

<p>I would – and have frequently on cc – strongly counsel against paying OOS rates to attend UC. There are much better values out there, IMO.</p>
