<p>I know standardized tests are a big factor and that I'm lacking in both community services and GPA, but how are my chances as an out-of-state applicant? haha, and I also acknowledge that cycling isn't a hyped sport in the US, more appealing to European countries. </p>

<p>Looking at UCD, UCLA, and UCB specifically. Thanks for helping me out!</p>
