A Snowflakes chance in hell?

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>I know I don't have much of a chance at Berkeley, but i was wondering what you guys think of my chances from out of state at UCLA. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.8w but good grade trend (3.5 frosh... 3.6 soph... 4.3 junior)
Class Rank: 20/210</p>

<p>SAT I- M: 670
CR: 790
W: 750</p>

<p>SAT II- US: 790
Bio: 750</p>

<p>AP- US His: 5 Bio: 5</p>

<p>ECs:
Basketball: 9-12
Cross Country:10-12 captain
National Honor Society: 12</p>

<p>So there it is. I would really appreciate any imput about my chances (feel free to comment on my chances at UCSD too, but mainly LA). Thanks.</p>

<p>also, i'll mention two other things. My school only offers 4 APs (2 junior year and 2 senior year) so i'll have taken all APs possible. Also, although the ECs are sparse, the basketball and cross country both take up 20+ hours of my time in-season.</p>

<p>you have the same chance as you would at berkeley. I think you actually have a decent shot at both. As far as UCSD is concerned, I think your chances are very good. Well anyways....Good Luck</p>

4

<p>for out-of-state, perhaps slight reach. could be closer to a match if you were in-state. i think you should apply to all 3 anyway (it's all on one app). good luck!</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach (out of state)
UCSD: Match (out of state)</p>

<p>you have great test scores but that avg isnt too great. whats your uc gpa?</p>

7

<p>how do you compute the UC GPA? Also, has the UC application come out yet?</p>

<p>wt f, how do not have a shot at UC berkeley and ask if u have a shot at LA. They have almost exact stats across the boards(SAT, GPA) except UCLA admittance rate is 23% while berkeley is 24.7%, also ucla has a lower ELC acceptance rate. i am offended, not really but still :]</p>

9

<p>thinking that berkeley is harder to get into than ucla is a misconception :)</p>

10

<p>Well, according to collegeboard.com, berkeley's SAT range at 75% (1450) is slightly higher than UCLA's (1410). But you guys are right, their's not much of a difference in acceptance rates. That being said, what do you think of my chances at both those schools from out of state?</p>

11

<p>i think if u continue getting that junior GPA, then yes there is a good chance. also bump up SAT 1 math if possible, tho the other two scores are very good.</p>

<p>also since u said u dedicated a lot of years into ur ECs, perhaps u could write about one experience in the UC essay.</p>
