<p>The numbers that they posted this year are seriously skewed. I remember looking at last years numbers and UCLA was put at 4.12 average, but this year it was 3.78. Wtheck are they going by unweighted or something? The SATs and stuff are different too oO;;</p>
<p>Well, maybe the new SATs threw everything off.</p>
<p>Nah, I figured it out. Lol, the information available at the moment is the APPLICATION statistics, not the admission statistics. For awhile there, I was staring in a bit of disbelief before I realized that I saw this page like 2 months ago.</p>
<p>those numbers were the stats of people who APPLIED, not the stats of those who were admitted.</p>
<p>Could you give a link for the applied stats?</p>
<p>Look a few posts up (#20)</p>
<p>Click Fall 2006.</p>
<p>when will we knowwwwwwwww</p>
<p>Does UCLA look at SAT or GPA more. Cuz my GPA is good 4.18 but my Sat kinda suck 1980, only took it once and didn't do too much studying for it.</p>
<p>Using a broad concept of merit, readers employ the following criteria which carry no pre-assigned weights:</p>
<ol>
<li>The applicant’s full record of achievement in college preparatory work in high school, including the number and rigor of courses taken and grades earned in those courses. Consideration will be given to completion of courses beyond the University’s a-g minimums; strength of the senior year course load; and performance in honors, college level, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate Higher Level (IBHL) courses to the extent that such courses are available to the applicant. In assessing achievement levels, consideration will be given to individual grades earned, to the pattern of achievement over time, and to an applicant’s achievement relative to that of others in his or her high school, including whether he or she is among those identified as Eligible in the Local Context.</li>
<li>Personal qualities of the applicant, including leadership ability, character, motivation, tenacity, initiative, originality, creativity, intellectual independence, responsibility, insight, maturity, and demonstrated concern for others and for the community. These qualities may not be reflected in traditional measures of academic achievement. They may be found elsewhere in the application and judged by the reader as positive indicators of the student's ability to succeed at UCLA and beyond.</li>
<li>Likely contributions to the intellectual and cultural vitality of the campus. In addition to a broad range of intellectual interests and achievements, consideration will be given to evidence of an applicant’s ability and desire to contribute to a campus that values cultural, socioeconomic, and intellectual diversity. This includes the likelihood that the student would make meaningful and unique contributions to intellectual and social interchanges with faculty and fellow students, both inside and outside the classroom.</li>
<li>Performance on standardized tests, including the required SAT Subject Tests, the ACT plus Writing or SAT Reasoning, and any Advanced Placement or IBHL examinations the applicant may have taken. Applicants who have not had the opportunity to take Advanced Placement or IBHL courses or who have chosen not to take the examinations for these courses will not be disadvantaged. Test scores will be evaluated in the context of all other academic information in the application and preference will be given to tests that show a demonstrable relationship to curriculum and to Academic Senate statements of competencies expected of entering college students. Under no circumstances does UCLA employ minimum scores or “cut-offs” of any kind.</li>
<li>Achievement in academic enrichment programs, including, but not limited to, those sponsored by the University of California. This criterion will be measured by time and depth of participation, by the academic progress made by the applicant during that participation, and by the intellectual rigor of the particular program.</li>
<li>Other evidence of achievement. This criterion will recognize exemplary, sustained achievement in any field of intellectual or creative endeavor; accomplishments in the performing arts and athletics; employment; leadership in school or community organizations or activities; and community service.</li>
<li>Opportunities. All achievements, both academic and non-academic, are considered in the context of the opportunities an applicant has had, and the reader's assessment is based on how fully the applicant has taken advantage of those opportunities. In evaluating the context in which academic accomplishments have taken place, readers consider the strength of the high school curriculum, including the availability of honors and Advanced Placement courses, and the total number of college preparatory courses available, among other indicators of the resources available within the school. When appropriate and feasible, readers look comparatively at the achievements of applicants in the same pool who attended the same high school and therefore might be expected to have similar opportunities to achieve.</li>
<li>Challenges. For an applicant who has faced any hardships or unusual circumstances, readers consider the maturity, determination, and insight with which he or she has responded to and/or overcome them. Readers also consider other contextual factors that bear directly on the applicant's achievement, including linguistic background, parental education level, and other indicators of support available in the home. </li>
</ol>
<p>In applying the criteria above, readers carefully consider evidence provided in the personal statement, as well as in the academic record and list of honors and achievements. It is important that the student as an individual comes through in the personal statement.</p>
<p>Good luck. Your GPA is pretty strong.</p>
<p>how come ucla average admit gpa is 4.25 for fall 2006? isnt that a little too high?</p>
<p>That number is likely based on uncapped 2 year GPA. The actual number is 4.12 for 2006, and Berkeley's is 4.16, not 4.5</p>
<p>thank goodness, that scared the crap out of me. lol I have a 4.16 capped.</p>
<p>when will we be notified?
when by mail and when by email online?</p>
<p>I don't know, dragonfang196 you should make a new thread since I think it's an important question.</p>
