<p>Hey, I am from out-of-state (VA) but I was wondering what my chances are for any of the UC’s… are there any I can consider a match/safety? Or is it all a reach b/c I am out of state? I want to study film, but if the school doesn’t have it I would study history or cultural studies. Also, I have only been to LA, so could you please tell me how the other cities the other UC’s are in are like? Thanks a lot.</p>
