I would say you stand a decent chance at an acceptance. Since you are OOS, you are a desirable applicant since you will pay full fees to attend ($36-40K/year).

Best of luck.

probably Fullerton and probably not CPP for CS.

Awesome! I attended high school in California for 2 years and have relatives and a home out there so i intend to return to live permanently so I wont have to pay housing fees just tuition!

So you will be commuting from your relatives home for either school?

oh i see, i meant that i wont have to pay 36-40k a year since I already have housing through relatives and just the tuition - 17-18k.

I plan to commute from my relatives home to save money :slight_smile: Thanks

Make sure you file an housing exemption if accepted to CPP. They require all Freshman students (other than locals) to live on-campus. Since you are applying as an OOS student, you will need to get an exemption to live with your relatives.

oh ok thanks for heads up, is it easy to file for?

I am not familiar on how difficult it is to get an exemption, so I would not worry about it now but here is an information link, just in case: https://www.cpp.edu/~housing/housing-options/freshmen-requirement.shtml

OOS fees for CSUs are pretty absurd unless you are really wealthy. There is virtually no financial aid for OOS students and it is almost impossible to establish residency as a continuing student here so - be careful.
How do you expect to raise the $ for tuition, books, etc?
