Will I take advantage to apply same-state college?

For example, it’s easier to get into a UC if you live outside California (because you don’t get financial aid and you pay very high out of state tuition fees).

<p>This is definitely not true for the less selective UCs, since the minimum HS GPA for frosh admission is 3.0 for California residents and 3.4 for non-residents. For the more selective ones where these minimums are too low to matter, it did not appear in UC StatFinder (when it was still available) that resident versus non-resident made any difference.</p>
