Well up until last year I was chair of graduate admissions at UCSB. Now thatIu2019ve left for University of Chicago and handed off the reins to one of mygreat colleagues their identity will remain a secret I can answer thisquestion. My answer is that your chances are not very good.UCSB MS is extremely competitive basically similar to selectivity or evenmore selective than the UCSB CS PhD program. Given some reasonablebackgroundscoresletters you might have a better chance if you applied forthe PhD.Why is this UCSB CS has not focused on building a large MS program in thepast. Thus the number of slots for MS students is fairly small each year.Plus BSMS students take slots from the same pool. So if thereu2019s a year witha large batch of strong BSMS students then the number of remaining MS spotsmight be ridiculously low.Still. You should apply and hope for the best. I wish you the best of luck
