<p>It’s totally not worth the wait on the highways to head up to UCLA. UCLA is in Northern LA, so yeah, have fun being in a virtual parking lot from Orange County to like Downtown. </p>
<p>As for your chances, I would say, given a really brief calculation via the point system, that it might be a slight reach for you. You have the EC’s down, and that will contribute around 1200 points to your total, but the OOS standard is 200 points higher than the average for in state. Also, what are your SAT II scores? Your ACT score would correlate to a 1980 on the SAT, which is minimally above average for the overall pool and probably average for the OOS pool. UCSD doesn’t practice AA as far as the point system outlines, so your ethnicity will not adversely affect your admissions.</p>
