After filling my SLR it seems the full-aid offer has been removed and I will have to pay around 70k of tuition due to being considered a non-resident.

I lived in California for two years, studied high school there for two years and graduated last year. I got my CA license and CA residency ID there. I decided to take a gap year and spent most of it back in my home country(I'm a dual citizen). My dad, despite living mostly in our home country, files taxes for CA and works under a CA company online. He has done so for many years. He also has residency there with his name under a house, with a registered CA vehicle, CA resident ID, CA Drivers license. He visits California from time to time.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if I can still qualify for exemptions or even legal residency to cut down the tuition cost. And any actions I could take to maybe qualify as a resident the other three years?

Any thoughts?
