very low. It’s not like it’s super expensive to apply but it’ll probably be a waste of money. I wouldn’t count on an interview. People getting in out of state have really unique experiences or stories from what I’ve seen (think Venezuelan refugee who walked on foot to the US border then worked 2 jobs in high school and throughout college to support younger siblings and family while learning English, etc. etc. you get the point).

that being said, you do have a non-zero chance of getting in. But it’s very unlikely. I was a CA resident up until a couple years ago. Better stats in all categories with some of my ECs being significantly higher, and professional work experience for a few years in a different industry. Didn’t hear anything from them.

shoot your shot though if you want. Not saying it won’t happen, but it’s very unlikely

Yeah I don't know about an interview. Good shot but you have to have a compelling reason. What is your state of residence?
