<p>I am OUT OF STATE...where do I stand?
Also, what types of merit scholarships are available to OOS applicants, and am I in the range of these awards?</p>
<p>your admission chances are very good. But, the UCs give POOR aid to OOS kids. Merit money is extremely limited (need ~2200 to be competitive), and will not cover the OOS portion of your fees. An Alumni scholarship and Regent's might cover up to $6k per year. But, cost of attendance is $40+k per year.</p>
<p>You are a match (OOS).</p>

<p>UCLA: Match (out of state)</p>
<p>Is the 4.9 weighted with honors courses weighed? If so, you have a pretty good chance, but if not then tell us your weighted without honors. Just fyi, I don't think UC's weigh honors courses as part of their UC GPA, only AP classes. If you have a 4.9 weighted with only ap courses, you, sir, are the man.</p>
<p>^ I am in-state (California), and the UC's do give an extra point for both the AP and Honors courses at my high school.</p>
<p>Both AP and honors classes are counted (except for some honors classes) but those extra points are capped @ 8 sem and there's no way the OP had a 4.9 with the cap unless he only took like 4 A-G classes over 2 years.</p>
<p>I am an out-of-state incoming freshman at UCLA...and they do weigh both AP and Honors courses. However, there are a couple honors courses exceptions which they DO NOT weigh. On the online application there should be a link which specifies; if I remember correctly they included US History and...I can't remember. They require you to list those particular classes with the "NH (non-honors)" tab, so what i did to show them that I opted for the honors class even though they won't count it is title the class "Honors ________ (us history, whatever)" but label it "NH" on that tab.</p>
<p>The only honors courses accpted by UCs are h-physiology and h-pre calculus. Also, i think you stand a solid chance, but it might be a reach bc you are out-of-state. last year UCLA only accepted 8% of out-of-state students.</p>
<p>
The figure is actually 25.29%. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>and the thing about physiology and precalculus isn't true either</p>
