There are so many schools that are as good as the two you mentioned. And, it’s not safe to rely on the UC price structure. As stated above, the Regents are trying to raise tuition soon. They don’t admit too many non residents. They have been talking about it lately to raise more money, but there is a huge backlash from citizens who already cannot get their kids into these impacted campuses.
If you really love California, look at some of our private schools. You didn’t give any stats, so I’m not sure where to suggest. It’s helpful to know your unweighted GPA, number of AP’s and if you have taken the SAT/ACT. You are likely to get merit scholarships at privates that would make them less expensive than a UC! There is Santa Clara, U San Diego, the Pomona Colleges, Chapman, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine.
In the rest of the west there is U of Denver, Rice, SMU, TCU, Puget Sound etc.
