OP might get independent, but it’s another ball of wax, doesn’t seem he officially “emancipated.” Still leaves the residency issue and the UC decision not to award OOS aid.
It’s complicated, but UCOP and each school lay it out and it’s just a matter of following, remembering the critical point is: they do not want to give away one more dollar than they have to, to true residents, as they define them. One of the toughest states for this.
