<p>:] Heya, I'm also Muslim and from California. Woot.</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance, but you would've had a 100% chance if you were a part of ELC. BUT, that doesn't mean you won't get in.</p>

<p>=] I believe UCSB accepts on average about 48-50% of its applicants. Make sure you stand out in your essays.</p>

<p>I'll be applying this fall also.</p>
