Problem: International Student has California Residency, but cannot apply at one...

<p>Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had a similar case where you have California residency (for whatever reason) but you study abroad, yet you cannot apply as a California resident to the UCs. According to fellow alumni students at my school, "we" can get in-state tuition but for some reason they consider us (in the admission process) as international... </p>

<p>Personally I don't get it cause you're counted under the in-state quota if you're paying in-state tuition no? Or is the quota like limited.. in admission only?</p>

<p>Help and responses will be appreciated :)</p>

<p>I don’t understand why you cannot apply as a CA resident if you have CA residency. Do your parents live and have residency in CA? If so you should too, even if you are currently studying abroad. Instead of asking fellow alums, you need to call the admissions office and get detailed info, in writing.</p>

<p>I second katliamom. You will most definitely not be considered an international applicant. From Berkeley’s website:

<p>Hmm.. that’s what I’ve been thinking. Well my parents still own a house which they pay for (tax/utility/what-not) cause my uncle lives there, and my brother going to a UC for a year recently just confirmed we were California residents because he got in-state tuition. </p>

<p>Thanks for all the help :slight_smile: I’ll look further into it and let you guys know how it goes!</p>
