<p>Write a damn good essay. The GPA is your downfall at the moment ,SATs look fine since you're in-state, but write something good - something that screams everything you've written here, or at least your passions. </p>

<p>I believe - slight reach, can be overcome if you truly write a good essay.</p>

<p>I think if you are really considered a California resident ( as in paying State taxes ) it should make a difference.</p>

4

<p>how can he be a california resident when he lives in beijing? everything looks good except the GPA which seemed to be pretty important from the acceptance stats I seen last year</p>

5

<p>Maybe parents live in California?</p>
