UCR students, help an OOS student who wants to go to UCR!

<p>Okay, so I'm from Rhode Island and I really want to go to a university in CA, more specifically UCR. </p>

<p>Anybody have any recommendations as to what I should do in order to increase my chances of getting accepted into UCR as an OOS student? I.e. How many AP classes I should take, kind of grades, etc.</p>

<p>Thank you very much!!</p>

<p>HOLY ****, I am from RI too..
What town are you from?</p>
