Out of State chances?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Davis
1

<p>So I checked collegeboard and Davis is something like 97% in-state?! Does that mean it would be much harder for an out-of-state applicant to get accepted? Or only slightly harder?</p>

<p>I’m an Asian female from Virginia, thinking of majoring in Design possibly with a double major or minor in other humanities/arts.</p>

<p>Chance me? Also what are my chances for merit scholarships (darn that out-of-state tuition…)</p>

<p>Brief stats:
3.8ish UW, dunno what my UC Gpa would be
2280 SAT (one sitting…am pretty annoyed that UCs don’t accept composite!)
232 PSAT, anticipating semi-finalist at least</p>

<p>Color guard/Marching band & winter guard 4 years, captain 2 years
Lit mag poetry editor 2 years, prose editor next year
NHS
Full-tuition scholarship to Parsons the New School for Design summer intensive
2nd place B’nai Brinth Diverse Minds- National children’s book contest
Various poetry publications & awards
Co-founder of Fashion for A Cause club
Creative Director of fashion show next spring </p>

<p>Also-- does Davis accept art portfolios as supplements?</p>

<p>TIA!
Tessa</p>

<p>What the numbers don’t tell you is how little non-resident applications we receive for Undergraduate admissions compared to resident applications. The only difference you will be facing is a slightly higher GPA, 3.4 non-residents GPA vs. 3.0 residents GPA, compared to resident applicants. As long as you are UC eligible and a well qualified student, <a href=“http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_exceeding_eligibility.cfm[/url]”>http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_exceeding_eligibility.cfm&lt;/a&gt; , you have a decent chance of being admitted. For more reassurance, after we determine eligibility we don’t review residency information to select our students.
You will only need to submit a complete Application for Undergraduate Admissions and Scholarships for full consideration. We will not review any supplemental information including portfolios, letters of recommendations or interviews to select students.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a good chance of making it in - your UW GPA is already above the minimum and those are great SAT scores. Plus, you have a lot of ECs.</p>
