<p>How much harder is it really to transfer to the UCs as an outer state? Is it true UCs are considering admitting more OOS students due to budget cuts?</p>
<p>I posted this in another thread.

<p>I myself am an out of state student and will be looking to apply to UCLA and Berkley later down the road. I know it will be difficult but it doesn’t hurt to try. I’d recommend visiting [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST) and trying to formulate a schedule that’s very similar to the ones at a California Community College. Since there’s no articulation agreements with out of state schools, it’s up to you to attempt to make sure the courses you take will transfer over. Also make sure you complete those prerequisites and IGETC (even though you won’t get certification for it).</p>
<p>As far as the whole admitting students because of budget costs it depends on several circumstances. Some people might not even agree, stating that it’s a myth. You can decide for your self.</p>
<p>It makes sense that the UC system will try to admit more OOS since they’ll have to pay more. However, I’ll bring up two cases.</p>
<p>Case #1 An OOS student applies to UCLA and files for no financial aid. His credentials are exceptional and he is a very strong candidate for admission.</p>
<p>Case #2 An OOS student applies to UCLA with the same stats except his EFC is 0. </p>
<p>It would make logical sense that if UCLA had to pick between one of these two students it would #1 because that student can pay fully for his tuition while student number #2 requires Financial Aid.</p>
<p>As I stated before though, there’s no hard evidence so it’s really up to interpretation.</p>
<p>thanks, it was pretty helpful :)</p>
