<p>Not too many are from OOS but they are accepting more because of the tuition difference: [Out</a> of state? Come to UC - Los Angeles Times](<a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/15/local/la-me-uc-enroll-20100715]Out”>Out of state? Come to UC) Can your family afford UCSD OOS?</p>

<p>Your stats are low for engineering at SD. Bringing the SAT above 2120 would help a lot.</p>
