Your STATS look good except your English score on the ACT and your SAT writing score are pretty low for the UC’S. I would definitely retake either the SAT or ACT. I believe you have a chance but as an OOS student (even with a hook AA), are you and your family able to pay around $53K/year for the UC’s??? Since you are stating you are low income, I think not. UC’s give OOS students very little financial aid. As a student, you would only be able to borrow around $27,000 for the 4 years and rest will be up to your parents. You would have a better chance at your in-state schools which would offer merit aid and need-based aid. There are some sticky threads on CC to check that would give you automatic scholarships and aid. Good Luck
