UCSB hard to get in to?

Why don’t you post again when/if you get in? 45% acceptance means they reject more than they accept. And, perhaps a lot of out-of-state people don’t apply because the “big two” (Berk and UCLA) have more national/international prestige and are perceived to be worth the out-of-state tuition price. UCSB is a great deal for in-staters and is an amazing place to go to college for anyone, but it is pretty pricy for out-of-staters, esp. with no financial aid (which is pretty sparse to non-existent for OOS).
