IIRC US residents can get to pay in-state tuition rates after a few years of residency in California, but this is impossible for international students. So it's far more expensive for the UCs to fund international testtubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293798209961798905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12949653.post-8348749883543740562007-10-03T17:57:00.000-05:002007-10-03T17:57:00.000-05:00cool. what do they look for anyway?

Extremely strong candidates would be able to get multiple offers with generous funding from the top schools. <BR/><BR/>Unless he/she is applying to Stanford? Berkeley?

For BME at least, when I applied (without mentioning any source of external funding), all my offers came with guarantees of full funding, and even in 1 case, a graduate fellowship. IMO, BME departments these days are rather flush with money...<BR/><BR/>(and no, I don't have qualifications above and beyond that of a typical grad school applicant)ttwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145301404990290676noreply@blogger.com
