<p>I can't chance you, sorry, I'm only a junior...but I do have a question for you. My SAT scores are nearly identical to yours (received 660 on writing rather than 680) and my class rank/GPA are similar as well. The thing is I'm a male living in Arizona. Do you think I could get into UCLA as an "out-of-stater" or do I need to beef up the SAT score?</p>

<p>BIG congrats on UCLA btw -- I'd love to go there.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, I'm going to re-take the SAT to get that CR score up. I plan on going into bioengineering with a focus on the medical aspect and then onto med school.</p>

<p>I think your great class rank may put you over the edge for Cal.</p>
