<p>Is it worth applying to UC Schools if I’m OOS? I was thinking about Irvine, Santa Barbara, and San Diego… but I don’t know exactly how hard it would be for me to get in to them.</p>

<p>Here is some info, if there is anything else you want to know, just ask…</p>

<p>School Type: Private
Location: Massachusetts
Race/Gender: Caucasian
Weighted GPA: 3.65…this is at my school. I don’t know my UC GPA
Class rank: School doesn’t rank</p>

<p>SAT I Scores - 1290/1970
SAT I Math: 670
SAT I Critical Reading: 620
SAT I Writing: 680</p>

<p>SAT II Scores
SAT II Math I: 680
SAT II French: 710</p>

<p>ACT: To be taken this Fall</p>

<p>AP Scores:
French: 5
Lang: 3
Environmental: I’ll be taking it senior year</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>SD would be a reach, and Irvine & SB would be matches, IMO. The UCs are mighty expensive for OOS ($45k/yr), so they don't offer as good a value proposition as do privates.</p>
