<p>Yes very good chance. </p>

<p>However, are you filthy rich? Cost of a UC from out of state is $50,000/year and only going up. Personally, NO public school is worth over $200,000. You decide though.</p>

<p>Well I am sure with those stats, you would definitely get or at least qualify for regents scholarship , plus apply for some other scholarships which I am sure you will get some of. </p>

<p>i have a friend from OH, who had superb stats and she’s getting 30K worth of scholarship, which means, she is paying less than most in-state students.</p>

<p>Haha no I’m not filthy rich, it has a lot to do with my heritage. In my family, like your grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, exd. help pay for your college so money isn’t much of a worry for me. Plus out of state tuition is only 30 grand ;]</p>

<p>Here are the average stats for CCS admits, from the UCSB 08-09 campus profile (so they’re the stats for the UCSB class of 2012):

I don’t know a lot about the CCS program, but I’m under the impression that many CCS students usually have pretty impressive extracurricular achievements. I’d think that you would have a pretty good shot - I think you’ll very likely get into UCSB (considering your out-of-state status), and I don’t think that CCS considers residency that much in their admissions (but I honestly don’t know). Just looking at the figures you gave, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you got in.</p>

<p>And out-of-state tuition is ~$22,000, and then fees are ~$8000 (going up to ~$10,000 next year), and then there are housing, transportation, student health insurance, and textbook costs that pump that up to about $50,000:

<p>I also agree with countrygentleman - I really think you should consider the cost of going to UCSB some more. It’s clear that you could probably a great university, regardless of state.</p>

<p>CCS (or at the very least my major) doesn’t care so much whether you’re “well rounded.” They’re much more interested in your ability and drive in your specific major.</p>

<p>good chance:) good luck</p>
