<p>Please give me some useful advice. I need to make a decision very soon.</p>

<p>I have been admitted into both UW and UIUC and I picked UW. However UCSB which is on my waitlist offered me a place.</p>

<p>I applied as a CA resident but im basically international since I went to a boarding school in California. I really have difficultly choosing, UW seems to have better prestige, and I have heard UW has great professors, while UCSB is also a wonderful university. Both places have great weather. (Im indifferent to the rain in seattle)</p>

<p>I probably would major in business, but my options are open.</p>

<p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>If you want to major in Business don’t go to UCSB. They don’t have a business major there- I think they currently have Econ and/or Bus Econ but not an extensive dept. so check that out. I know nothing about UW and am a UCSB alum. I know UCSB is a great school and both Seattle and Santa Barbara are beautiful communities. Good luck.</p>

<p>By simply applying as a resident, does that actually make you a resident? My understanding is that if you are dependent upon your parents, it is your PARENTS who have to qualify as “California residents for the purpose of Tuition”, not you.</p>

<p>If I were you I would really make sure what each will cost you. UCSB could be about half the cost of UW if you indeed are classified as a California Resident for the Purposes of Tuition.</p>

<p>This link may help you get a better undertanding. As I read it, if your parents are not legal CA residents, then you must be financially independent from them… that is a very difficult standard to meet.<br>

<p>UCSB’s price is much cheaper than that of UW, but I price is not very important for me. If regardless of the price, what would your opinion be.?</p>
