<p>something tells me you have a shot.</p>

3

<p>i think you have a shot too, although i just want to point out that his year the california public universities are jam packed with california residents. the california state university system already started up a new policy in which they put people with Cs on 2nd priority b/c there were thousands more applications that expected this year. we have yet to hear from the UCs, but the point is that priority is given to california residents and we have no idea what the situation is this year.</p>

4

<p>I got in with… let’s say, different stats. Seems like you’re applying to some more elite schools, UCLA shouldnt be too much of a worry.</p>

5

<p>I had similar stats with you (with a slightly lower SAT I), and I got in OOS.</p>

<p>Should be a safety/match for you.</p>

6

<p>have you taken a yearlong art/music course?</p>

7

<p>I think chances for out-of-state students is going to increase. I think they’re increasing the number of students they will accept from out-of-state because of the budget crisis. Out-of-staters pay considerably more for their tuition, so that increase will give the state more money.</p>
