*as for my recommendation letters and essay, i dont think ill run into any trouble with those.
i will be applying soon and am absolutely troubled by the fact that i dont have any idea yet whatsoever about my chance of getting in.. i hope some helpful soul out there will give me an insight of where i stand as an applicant with regards to my stats... thanks. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. tell me my chance.. reach, match, etc.
THANKS.. I'LL GIVE COOKIES TO THOSE KIND ENOUGH TO HELP EVALUATE MY CHANCES..</p>
<p>Now, come on! I think you know you will get in, you're just looking for some reassurance. YES! I think you will get in- its a match.</p>
<p>i guess so.. um, yeah but im not a cali resident.. you think i'll still make the cut considering that fact?..</p>
<p>Yeah I was just about to say that. It's gonna be ALOT harder for you to get accepted. Considering now only 2% of people there are OOS, that means you probably have to be in the top 2% of all those OOS applicants. Not easy, but hey I'm in the same boat as you.</p>
<p>well then.. we're basically doomed, crushed by the cali applicants' asses.. and the sad thing is, they get priority even if they have some moronic GPA..</p>
<p>Considering now only 2% of people there are OOS, that means you probably have to be in the top 2% of all those OOS applicants.</p>
<p>How do you figure? The applicant pool for OOS students is probably pretty small.</p>
<p>Still you have to beat out all of the kids from Cali and the out of staters.</p>
<p>There will be some competition from other kids, but I don't think you'll be significantly disadvantaged. While the number of OOS is 2%, I wouldn't be surprised if the total amount of OOS applicants to UCSB is also very close to that number, so if you have good stats, I'm sure UCSB would want you (not to mention they'd want your OOS fees :))</p>
<p>I recall you wanting to apply to UCSB in the future, so good luck!</p>
