Admission to UCLA

<p>I am an OOS white male with a 3.75 unweighted GPA and a 4.03 weighted (my school uses a different weighting scale than CA though). I am currently a junior enrolled in three AP courses: USH, Lang, and Psych. The rest of my classes are honors, if offered. I plan to take 3 or 4 more AP's, likely including AP calc, AP Spanish, AP Lit, and AP gov. My EC's include: volunteering at a soup kitchen, Habitat for Humanity (the club has few members, so most of out efforts involve fundraising), Spanish Honor Society (I plan to run for a leadership position next year), and a Boys' State program where I draft a bill, present it, and meet with other members for a week in the summer to participate in government education workshops with other members. SAT is a 730 CR, 620 math (which I plan to bring up in my second test), and a 650 writing. ACT scores haven't come in but I am projected to receive a 31-33. It's early, but does it seem like I have any hope? </p>

<p>UCLA: High match (can you pay full-freight?)</p>

Your SAT is low, but your projected ACT is good. Is that your UC GPA? You say it is not, so calculate it online. It seems good, however. Your ECs are also good, but perhaps slightly weak. Overall, I think you have decent chances. Good luck!</p>

<p>My UC GPA would be 4.11. But yeah, ideally I can raise my SAT. Thanks for the input</p>

<p>A big issue, as @Catria‌ said, is that there is not a lot of financial aid available to OOS residents. Check UCLA’s website to see the costs and the financial aid available to you and first make sure that it is affordable. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the input guys, you both raise good points about the financial aspect of the process.</p>
