<p>Try getting your UW GPA up to at least a 3.6 and you’ll have better chances. But Until then:</p>

<p>Stanford University-NO Chance
Duke University-No Chance
University of California - Los Angeles- Match
University of California - San Diego-Match
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill-Low Match / Reach
New York University-Reach
Boston College- Don’t know much about</p>

<p>Your race helps a lot and you have great AP Scores. Keep trying and maybe you’ll have better chances at Duke and Stanford.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I’ve head that being accepted to UCLA out of state is almost, if not equally, as difficult as being accepted to Stanford. Does anyone know if this is true from experience or observation?</p>

<p>^ It is extremely difficult. Most of the accepted applicant that are OOS from the UC system are recruited athletes.</p>
