No, admissions does not work that way for UC. If you have very low income, report it and take the fee waiver. It will not be considered how much $$ you actually need compared to someone else for admissions. That is not remotely how it works.

To make budget, they are admitting more full pay out of state people. You are not competing with those people, they are competing against each other.

UC is also very interested in low income students yes. But please do not twist yourself in a knot over things you can’t control.
