Admission decisions for out of state

<p>I was reading through other posts and as an out of state student I was wondering how kids matched up against me did.</p>

<p>I was rejected.</p>

<p>I had 2100 SAT - 780 math, 700 reading, 620 writing
3.91 UC GPA
AP Language and Comp - 5
AP US History - 4
Math II - 720, Lit - 620
2 Varsity sports, band, school newspaper, volunteer work, leadership positions and conferences among other EC's. </p>

<p>Looking at the other accepted kids I thought I would have had an edge but I guess they're mostly in state. I am very curious to know how other out of state did.</p>

<p>I don’t want to come off as rude, but you have better stats than me and I got in. Sorry.</p>

<p>I’m from CT if that matters
I had 2120 SAT - 730 math, 710 reading, 680 writing
3.8 UC GPA
Math II - 630, Physics - 520
1 Varsity sport (captain), Lots of volunteer work, and good ec’s. Great essays and recommendations.</p>

<p>Again, I’m sorry about your rejection, I just wanted to help and answer your question!</p>

<p>I was accepted out of state… SAT 2280, UC GPA 3.92</p>

<p>I’m really shocked you were rejected with those stats. I’m sorry.</p>

<p>thank you. yeah it must have been a tough year for admission to UCSB. congratulations to all who were accepted. regardless of my rejection, Santa Barbara is still my favorite school.</p>

<p>800683, it amazes me that you were rejected! Did you have all your UC requirements covered? S has a friend (CA resident) who was rejected from UCSD but accepted to Cornell (go figure)-- Have to assume you have lots of good choices–best of luck to you!

<p>Really think I nailed my essays</p>

<p>Hook: I’m being recruited by the Men’s Lacrosse Coach at UCSB. Although it’s not a “varsity sport” it’s considered “virtual-varsity” and can give me a bump in admissions. The coach told me last year he got a recruit in from OOS with lower stats last year FWIW.</p>
