I was with my daughter today at a preview event at Southern Oregon University, and they also said they admit CA students under the WUE. I guess it varies by school.

Has someone seen definite rates for 2008-2009? The estimated rate is on the UO website, but it is around 19,500 if I remember correctly. Has the new rate been approved by the legislature?

This is what was on our financial reward letter (loans) plus the following rates for 2008-09:
1) Tuition $20191
2) Room & board $8235
3) Books $1050
4) Fees $500

U. of O. is not part of the WUE program for California.

My CA nephew will attend UofO in the fall if my sister with 0 EFC is able to work it out with their FA office. When he applied, we mistakenly thought the WUE was available and were unaware of its highly competitive nature.

Well though our son thought he made his final decision to go to Sonoma he has changed his mind and will be attending U. of Oregon. He was too concerned about the social aspects of SSU and wanted more of a total college experience (sports, school spirit, college town, frat. houses, etc). Sonoma as we discovered has a huge number of commuters and that wasn't appealing to him either. It's a great school but all things considered he felt that U. of O. was the better fit for him and we are happy for him.

congratulations to your son - i think he made a very good choice. those large universities (especially in the west) offer tremendous opportunities and value.

Yes, and U. of O. isn't too big (16K). He wasn't interested in any schools larger than that. He is really excited about it and we are happy for him too.
