[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general (i.e., not major specific) , I would only consider the following OOS publics:

UCLA: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are below 13%.

UC Berkeley: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are below 15%.

UVA: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 25%.

UF: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 25% (plus OOS COA is low).

Georgia Tech: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 28%.

That’s it …

Michigan, UNC, Texas, and Washington? Yeah, I’m not paying OOS tuition for any school that accepts nearly 40% of its in-state applicants.

Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland? Not a chance.[/quote]

UCs?  Nah.  In-state is fine.  Paying OOS tuition so your DC can take the same class as community college transfers? No.  [/quote]
The CC transfers take the intro and most lower division classes in their CC. As for upper division classes, you can choose the really hard classes or even take Ph.D. classes as an undergrad. Cal has the best 3-5 Ph.D. programs in almost every single subject, so the Ph.D. classmates are outstanding.[/quote]
