@hawkfank2 I received an invitation to their Chancellor’s reception telling me I am one of the top applicants. I got a 30 on the ACT a 1370 on the new SAT and had a weighted GPA of 4.3. I wrote strong insight questions, so that could be the difference along with being in-state. Don’t give up hope, if it’s something you really want to strive for I say go for It. Visiting the campus does not give you any boost in your application, but it is DEFINITELY worth your time if you are serious about getting in. I visited today and it made all the difference. I applied to UCSB in the beginning just to add it onto my list, but after visiting today it has skyrocketed to the very top of my list. You have to see the campus for yourself to really get the feel for the true beauty and feel of if. I am so glad I toured.
