Aspirations Left Unfulfilled !!!

<p>Lets start a thread of students who aspire to go to UCLA who are currently unqualified........ People who dont have 9.6 GPAs......... </p>

<p>Personally I love UCLA.. and I think it would be amazing if I went there.........but my grades dont speak the same tale......</p>

<p>Anyone else in my shoes????</p>

<p>For fall 2005, the average admitted domestic freshman presented the following characteristics: </p>

<p>4.25 GPA (weighted).
1,345 on the SAT I.
674 on the SAT II writing.
688 on the SAT II math tests.
19 honors/AP/IB/CL courses. </p>

<p>Just some stats... Initially I was trying to find the percent admit rates for people in different GPA and SAT brackets. </p>

<p>I am definitley one of those people who dont have the 9.6 and 2400 sat, etc....i would do pretty much anything to attend UC Los Angles next year and i pray to God that it works out every single day</p>

<p>ps they have a 2006 Freshman Admit profile...it's truly incredible and scary...</p>

<p>There's always the transfer system.</p>

<p>Just saying.</p>

<p>I dont get it, a lot of people here dont seem that smart.</p>

<p>yeah, i know.</p>

<p>i seriously wonder every. single. day. how some/lots of those people managed to get in.</p>

<p>do you think it's really worth it to transfer to ucla? i have a 3.8 UC GPA and a 27 on the ACT, and i don't think i'll make it in as a freshman. well i have a slim chance compared to most who are accepted. but by the time i graduate from high school i'll already have 60 semester college units and i don't know if it's worth it to spend another year doing TAP or whatever to get into UCLA. can you even transfer 90 semester units???</p>

<p>then again i do want to major in psych...so that's kinda swayed my opinion on transfering to LA, because it is worth it. but i would want to double major in economics also, but at UCLA that seems impossible. so i dont know..im a confused senior</p>

<p>allie, i wonder that too. it shows that just cause you go to ucla you arent that special. NUMBER!</p>

<p>dude....i wonder how I got into ucla....</p>

<p>That depends. With your high GPA, I suppose you could get into most of the other UCs, the best of which is probably UCSD. But if you really want to go to UCLA, then it is definitely worth the the extra year or two. If you really want to go to college in LA, then another possibility is to apply to USC. I don't know anything about their entering class statistics, but I think you have a good shot at getting in.</p>

<p>"4.25 GPA (weighted)."</p>

<p>-thats nauseating
Side note from the last post......is USC really that much easier to get in than UCLA?</p>

<p>no its not that much easier. its about as hard these days. unless you have connections, celebrity, or big money.</p>

<p>USC might be better for you if youre OOS and need FinAid.</p>

<p>ohh thats good to know...... IMO Usc cant match up to Ucla</p>

<p>MMMM... :o</p>

<p>If your EFC is 0, you'll get 20K worth of loans or something like that. Soo consider finances when applying to colleges... There are ways to decrease this amount (different types of housing, etcetc) but for cost, USC might be a better choice.</p>
