<p>Match for UCLA, very good match. Low reach for UCB as a OOS but good luck!</p>
<p>You have a good chance at both schools. Are you able to pay the $55K/year price tag for these schools? You will get little to no financial aid as an OOS student and it looks like from you post, you will require some FA. </p>
<p>Yeah the biggest obstacle for me will be the price, but I have been applying for several(over 15) scholarships to offset the price a little. This is the only way I will be able to finance my education</p>
<p>I wish you good luck but you do realize that to make up the gap, you are only able to take out $5500 freshman year in loans and the rest will be up to your Mom or those scholarships? Even if UCLA/UCB gives you some financial aid, they will not cover the $23K OOS tuition.</p>
<p>I think you can get into both colleges! As the above all said finances should be your only major issue. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>REALLY good chance of getting into both</p>
