Question about UC Application

Applying to College
1

<p>I have a stupid question about the UC Online Application.</p>

<p>There's this section which asks personal information such as country of citizenship and country of residence. Next is a rather confusing question: "Citizenship Status (Non-US Citizens)".</p>

<p>" Indicate your status as of the date you submit this application. If you are a nonimmigrant, respond to the appropriate visa item(s) by indicating your information visa type. " TIP: Check "Immigrant/Permanent Resident" only if you have already obtained permanent resident status in the US.</p>

<p>The options are: "Immigrant/Permanent U.S. Resident", "Refugee" and "Nonimmigrant".</p>

<p>I am a Taiwanese citizen residing in Spain. I'd select Nonimmigrant... But then what kind of visa am I supposed to select? " Visa for which you have applied or plan to apply" Would it be F1? "Other"?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help ;)</p>

<p>OK another question: Obviously CA residents are given lots of preference, "* 91% In-state students", does an International student have any chance? Of course it depends on the student, but the way I look at it of the remaining 9%, 90% probably goes to the rest of US residents.</p>

<p>lol, it looks kinda grim now. :P</p>

<p>Bump. Someone please?</p>

<p>You would probably be an F1</p>

<p>international apps? ....depends on the campus. For example, Berkeley accepted 12% of its international applicants last year (227/1843). </p>

<p>btw: the UC's accept such a high proportion of Calif residents because the Uni system is public, i.e., supported by Calif tax-payers.</p>
