it is pretty much certain you will get a TA-ship. Your relative performance in class determines whether they give you a fellowship to cover the non-resident tuition (if you are not a California resident). At least this is what they told me two years ago. Try to look up old posts by TheBrothersKaramazov and jhai. TBK is a current student and some time ago she described her (very positive) impressions. Jhai was admitted but went to Georgetown eventually. She visited the department and posted some helpful stuff afterwards.
