<p>what are my chances at UCLA, UCI, UCSB ,UIUC ,Georgia tech, u michigan ?
or any suggestions for other schools?</p>
<p>bump.........</p>
<p>anybody..... please.....</p>
<p>I'm assuming you're not a resident of California, Illinois, Georgia or Michigan. I don't know how it changes things for you to be an American citizen studying abroad (do you have dual-citizenship, or did you just decide to go abroad for your education and then change your mind?), but I sense nothing but a sticky path of "exceptions" for you with your somewhat rare situation.</p>
<p>yes i have dual citizenship (iran-usa), and i am not resident of those states.
so do you think i have any chance?
is my gpa good enough?</p>
<p>What state are you a resident of, technically? The in-state boost is always helpful.</p>
<p>resident of UAE, ;)</p>
<p>but my father is cal resident since 1976, does that change anything?</p>
<p>It <em>should</em> help, arnufc. The fact of the matter is still that the odds are against you, though. The UC system is committed to providing transfer spots to California community college students, then US 4-year transfers, and then others.</p>
<p>As I said before, your situation is rather unique. You're probably going to be considered an exception to this or that requirement; if that's the case, unless anyone has any particular experience (ie, dual citizen with residency out of the US, attending non-US college, transferring to US state school), you're not going to get much advice on CC. Best to contact the schools in question.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>AUD is accredited in the us. (southern association, i think) does that make it "US school" ?</p>
<p>anyways, thank you "undecided". i think i am just going to apply.</p>
<p>I think you may get some more specialized help if you also post this in the international forum, some others may have similar expirences and advice.</p>
<p>Best of luck! =)</p>
<p>thanks screenname.</p>
