UT OOS admission vs. UC OOS admission

Not an expert here, but UC schools are bleeding money and love OOS applicants (because they pay full freight). Assuming you’re full pay and didn’t apply for FA, and just considering your stats, I think chances are good you’ll get into at least one of the UCs. UT is simply brutal for those not falling within the in-state auto-admit criteria, and they have more in-staters but not by a huge margin. They’re just not quite as driven by $ as UCs since UT-system is massively endowed.

Do some searches, here are a few articles/threads I found very quickly. Lots of discussion about this out there.

Good luck!
