Thanks! One concern I have about Michigan (in addition to the weather) is being LGBTQ in rural/suburban part of the midwest. Anyone have experience with being LGBTQ or URM in Ann Arbor? Or San Diego?
I believe initial in state tuition matters less for UC schools because they can change residency after first year and get in state from then on. I think that's the case foe ucsf and ucla at least. In that case, it's like a 10k one time difference. Not sure about ucsd though.Michigan since you are not IS at UCSD. Proximity to family and friends is not an issue here.

I shouldn’t have used IS since that’s mostly for tuition and whether the school will prefer an applicant. I meant it more that they don’t live in California, so they wouldn’t be leaving their support system.I believe initial in state tuition matters less for UC schools because they can change residency after first year and get in state from then on.

In any case, I'd still choose UMich because that cost differential isn't big enough.
For medical school, you can get in state tuition after your first year at the UCs. It is different than for undergrad.I shouldn’t have used IS since that’s mostly for tuition and whether the school will prefer an applicant.

I did not know you could change residency for UC schools. The undergrad campuses used to love having OOS students to gain extra money and I wouldn’t expect them to give a chance at changing residency to those kids. I think it’s only if you’re moving to California for non-educational purposes, but they may have changed it.
I found this one from 2020:Thanks for all the input. I am having a bit of difficulty finding match lists from UCSD for the past few years. Anyone have any links?
Also, I have family in San Francisco (90 min flight from San Diego). Not sure if this should factor in as "support system" in weighting the location piece (vs no family or friends anywhere in/near Michigan).
