<p>I’d say you have a very slim shot because they only accept a small percent of OOS people and even to be accepted OOS your test scores need to be much higher</p>

<p>I disagree. You have nice EC’s and will also bring some interesting geographic diversity to the campus. just my 2 cents.</p>

<p>Coursework and ECs look good and GPA (old score of 1310) just needs a little bump. Make sure your essays are strong and do what you can to get your SAT up to an old score around/above 1400 and you should be competitive…geographic diversity can help you here as well.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>UPDATE: I just got a 670 on math, 610 on critical reading, 670 on writing.</p>

<p>Your geographical diversity will be your ace card for your admission. Because you’re from Alaska I think you have a great chance.</p>
