I didn't exactly know where else to post this, figured everyone here has a pretty good idea of the school. I did try to do a forum search, but couldn't find anything good for UCR. UCR is either my top choice or pretty close to it. Problem is I'm not a California resident. My wife grew up in Riverside though, she was there for 18 years. Her family is all still there and they are amazing and I'd love to be close to family during school and definitely would consider settling down there. Do you think that is enough of a connection to give me a shot? Or would I be throwing away my money to even apply? Thanks for any advice.
