<p>As a parent of an entering UCSB student (and I studied their admission stats very carefully), I think you have a very good chance, so chill out a little! Your desperation is honestly a little worrying… no school is worth the stress you already seem to be feeling. Find a school you would be happy to attend where you are positive you will be admitted and can afford (your stats are solid, that school is out there), and then everything else is gravy. My son started with UCSB as his safety and fell so much in love with it that he ended up going there even though some technically higher ranked schools admitted him and gave him merit money. Don’t pin your hopes on ANY one school–resolve to bloom where you are planted. Good luck!</p>
