How to apply to a California college with a international HS diploma? Special circumstances?
I grew up in California and have a green card, SSN and all that. Now I live in Germany and will graduate from school here with a German Abitur. Is there any way I can apply to a California college as an in-state student? Thanks

Answer 1 :
You can't be an in-state CA student. You actually have to be a resident of California - living in CA, with you or your parents paying taxes, registered to vote, paying a mortgage/rent, working, etc. - in order to do that. Since you will obviously have been living in Germany, you won't qualify. You can apply to California colleges as a non-resident, and pay non-resident tuition.
