Can you afford any of the schools?
The UCs do not provide ANY kind of funding for non-residents. None.
Will your parents pay the nonresident fees of $60k per year?
Without test scores, it is really hard to figure out where you stand.

I’m taking the SAT and ACT both this spring. I predict good scores, at least a 1400 SAT and at least a 30 ACT.

I can definitely afford Purdue because I’m in state, and I’m pretty sure I’d be able to afford the other schools too. However, my focus right now is finding reasonable schools that I could be accepted to and I’ve been told that the UCs are need-blind. Correct me if I’m wrong.

The UCs do NOT fund OOS students. The UCs are public colleges, funded by California state taxes. Residents of California pay very high taxes. Priority in admission goes to instate students whose parents have been paying taxes.

Need blind just means that they don’t look at your ability to pay to admit you.

  • UC undergraduates at all campuses pay the same $12,630 in systemwide tuition and fees. Nonresident undergraduates pay an additional $28,014 in nonresident supplemental tuition. The fees figure above includes the average cost of additional campus-based fees. Your total costs will vary depending on your personal expenses and the campus you attend. All fees are subject to change without notice.

I don’t know who told you any different, but the fees are very expensive.

I never said I was told they give aid to OOS, I said I was told their admissions are need blind.
