The UC system and the out-of-state applicant

[Lev Bronstein]

Do UC schools favor in-state applicants? At the lower-ranked UC schools that I have looked at, most of their grad students did their undergrad at California schools. Are out-of-state tuition waivers tough to get?

I don't know about UC specifically, but it sounds reasonable that they would have trouble paying out of state waivers. I learned that a lot of schools push you to become a resident ASAP so that you'll be cheaper to fund. But the one person I know who got into a UC school was from out of state.
