Hey, I'm a non-Cali resident looking to apply to California schools. Is it too late for this cycle? If it is it's not too big of deal, as I took summer classes and will graduate in 3 years, so I have a year to burn haha. UCSD and Stanford seem pretty cool, but they're probably too hard for an OOS, right? If I apply next year instead, what should I work on while I wait?
