<p>Hello! I live in Dallas, Texas and was wondering what my chances were for getting into UCSB out of state.</p>

<p>I have over 250 hours of community service.</p>

<p>I have done theatre for my whole life.</p>

<p>I do tv and film commercials and shows. (indie type things, one national commercial.)</p>

<p>I have A's in all my classes.</p>

<p>My gpa is 4.0 uw.</p>

<p>My ACT is 31.</p>

<p>Overall my SAT is 1900.</p>

<p>I played volleyball for 4 years.</p>

<p>I've played piano for 12 years.</p>

<p>I am in BBYO, National Honor Society, I am in student council (secretary) and the Key Club, I have been on the debate team for 3 years, and I also speak at hospitals about my experience with illness and I work at a homeless daycare for children.</p>

<p>CHANCE ME!</p>

<p>xoxo,

<p>Statistically what are the chances?</p>

<p>Any advice from UCSB students?</p>

<p>What makes you stand out on applications?</p>

<p>What made you get accepted on your application if you could think of one thing?</p>

<p>It would be really helpful if I got some opinions from out-of-staters too.</p>

<p>I want to go into Elementary Education and money is no problem.</p>

<p>Also, how do I start a new thread? I can’t seem to find the button…</p>

<p>You already made a previous thread in the same forum today. This is a waste. </p>

<p>The only people that can give you your statistical chance is the admissions committee. Quit posting the same thing. So your parents are willing to pay $50-60K per year for you to become an elementary school teacher and then get paid at $30K per year?</p>

<p>It’s what I want to do!</p>

<p>Ninjex, I understand, but some people inboxed me about the clarity of my question so I reposted this. (:</p>

<p>Your score of 1900 SAT is not competitive for the UCs, but if your parents are willing to fund you, you might get in at full fees. If your goal was to live in California after graduation and get a job, you might have difficulty with job placement in CA since California districts like to fund CA residents first. Our state is out of money, so the districts are too. It is common to get annual pink slip notices. As a dependent resident of the state of Texas, a job placement would not be a priority, no matter what skills you have that you might think are better than locals</p>

<p>If you plan on teaching in Texas, you may not get state licensure in Texas based on their state requirements. Think about this plan, before your parents pay over $240k for your education with no guarantee of a job in California or Texas.</p>

<p>So is that saying a could get in? What are the chances?</p>

<p>Your score is not competitive. The only people who know your chances are your admissions committee. As an OOS resident, they don’t have an obligation to admit you. The spaces are typically reserved for state residents. </p>

<p>your sat score is a bittttt low. maybe if you try to get at least 2100 you’d have a better chance since you need better qualifications due to your OOS status. otherwise, everything else seems good </p>

<p>…chances are good… UCs here are admitting OOS students at a HIGHER percentage of in state. Not numbers but a higher percentage. They need the moula.</p>
