any input would be great

Quite impressive! 4 Years ago I’d say you’re in — no doubt. However, the State funding given to these school has fallen every year and the big story in CA is the overwhelming number of applications they’re getting.

It’s tough to say — but if I were in charge of enrollment, I’d stamp your application with an emphatic YES! (Yah, the stamp would say “Emphatic YES!”)

Good luck!!
