<p>Sorry, here's another chances thread... but this is (partially) what this forum is for right?;)</p>
<p>Going to be sophomore at UCSB</p>
<p>College GPA: 4.0
Current major: bio-psychology</p>
<p>High School GPA: 3.19 (really low i know, i was a complete slacker)
High School SAT: 750 math/750 verbal/760 writing
SAT2s: 700 englishlit/770 biology/790 math 2</p>
<p>schools that i'm considering for transfer: UCLA? U-Mich? i really don't know yet haha.. i'm not at all sure what my chances would be for most schools. I'm considering also applying to UCBerkeley and Rice, but I have heavy doubts about both - Rice is too prestigious, as for Berkeley, I'm neither a California resident (from out-of-state) nor a CC-er. So that could hurt. any suggestions/ratnig of chances/school suggestions welcome!</p>
<p>how are you OOS? If you stayed at UCSB for two years, wouldn't you be a resident?</p>
<p>In either case, you have decent chances for Cal even OOS. Almost guranteed if you are in fact, in state.</p>
<p>thank you for replying so quickly! and making me hopeful. haha. :p</p>
<p>the thing is i discovered i couldnt apply for cali residency because my parents live in taiwan and don't pay california taxes, and i'm not a taxpayer either. sometihng like that. that's why i'm still paying oos fees and am considered out of state.</p>
<p>That's an interesting situation. The same thing happened to me. I was going to a state school, but I wasn't considered in state, but when I applied as a transfer after two years at a different school in the same state, I was considered in state at the new school. But I imagine being considered in state for California is much harder. Anyway, you're still a strong candidate, wherever you choose to go.</p>
<p>really? what state was it?</p>
<p>yes... cuz apparently a lot of OOS people in california try to apply for cali residency so that they pay lower college tuition, but they don't pay taxes so UC system doesn't get benefits. :\ sighh.</p>
<p>North Carolina. It's also weird because my brother applied to the same school as a freshman that I did as a transfer, and they wouldn't consider him in state.</p>
<p>wow, you're lucky then. :D</p>
<p>anyway, BUMP. please help people?? :(</p>
