Canadian student wanting to go to UCSB?

<p>I am currently a sophomore in Canada and I was really hoping to go to UCSB :) I have many questions going through my mind at the moment, but it would be very helpful if I could get some answers :) </p>

<p>1) Should I go into the IB diploma program?
2) The ACT composite is around 25. What should I aim for in order to get an acceptance?
3) Does UCSB accept international students often?
4) What are some tips that would, positively, accept me into this school?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>
