Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me decide if I should withdraw from my OOS options. For context, I have received 3 UC acceptances and I am a California resident so I am 99% sure I will stay in-state at one of these options since it financially and logistically makes more sense. Also, it is likely I will choose UCSF, which from my understanding, would not really consider negotiating aid even if I tried to wait it out and see how much money OOS schools may offer. I know there's lots of other students out there waiting for movement on their waitlists, and I want to be considerate given I have been very lucky this cycle to receive some great options. Does it make sense to withdraw from the two OOS options I have?

Yes. There will be 2 more openings that can be filled and those 2 students will have more time to plan before matriculation.

I would withdraw if you’ve made your decision.

If you’re holding out for money, don’t. The money isn’t coming. Take your awesome cali acceptances and run
