If I lived in California before, am i still considered a Californian resident?

Question

I'm currently going to be a junior and my goal is to get in UCLA. The problem is that my brother heard that the chances are higher if I am a Californian resident. I currently study overseas, but I lived in California for two years for Preschool and Kindergarden, does that still count?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

uhm if u arent living in california currently ur not a resident, but ur still californian, but dont see hwo that would help

Answer 3

no you have to be living there to be a resident  

Answer 4

i dont think so. u have to be a  legal resident for atleast one year at the time ur trying to get in, not just in ur lifetime.  

Answer 5

no, you are a resident where ever you reside which in your case is overseas.  

Answer 6

Since over 10 years have passed since you were a resident,  I think it's unlikely they would consider you a California resident.  If you lived in any other US state in between,  even less likely  

Answer 7

No.  You are no longer a California resident just because you lived there for a short period of time.  Your residence is where you have your driver's license from and where you receive your mail.
