<p>I live in Virginia and I'm looking to go to UCSB. How likely do you think it is I get in?</p>
<p>1360/1600 SAT, 1920/2400</p>
<p>33 ACT, No writing though so I can't use it I guess</p>
<p>3.0 Freshman year, 3.7 sophmore year, 3.7 junior, 3.9 this year with 5 AP's</p>
<p>Bunch of extra curriculars</p>
<p>hmm very hard since you're out of state....I'd put it as a reach school</p>
<p>yeah, you need writing. You could standby for December ACT, but gpa is much more important to UC than test scores. You also need two Subject Test scores.</p>
<p>The UCs are not worth the $45k for OOS, IMO. Unless you hate cold, for that kinda money, you should consider a good private, or UMich.</p>
<p>I took 3 SAT Subjects.</p>
<p>Physics = 740/800</p>
<p>Math 2 = 740/800</p>
<p>Chemistry = 800/800</p>

<p>Nope. UC's are 18-25k OOS.</p>

jacksonwalters, you can believe what you want, but the facts are exactly what bluebayou said. Why don't you post a link to an official UCSB website instead of some third-party links if you think the number is wrong?</p>
<p>Here, I'll do it for you: UCSB</a> Financial Aid says $47K for OOS students on campus. UCSB</a> Financial Aid says $44K to live off-campus.</p>
<p>Hm. You're right. How deceiving. I want to go to a good school for physics. Any advice?</p>
<p>Also, if I apply with the intention of majoring in chemistry, does that help me at all? I've had straight A's in all my chemistry classes a 5 on the AP exam and perfects on the SAT subject and state SOL.</p>
<p>Those tuition figures include all the extras. If you want information on just tuition itself, you can see that here:</p>
<p>UCSB</a> Catalog: Undergraduate Student Fee Chart for 2007-2008</p>
<p>Non residents basically just have a $20,000 fee tacked on.</p>

No. As they say on the admission webpages, which you should spend some time perusing if you're interested in UCSB, for majors in Letters & Science your intended major is NOT considered.</p>
