Can I get into UCLA?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>SAT: single sitting 2190 (superscore 2260, but UC doesn't count that)
ACT: 33
UC GPA: 4.25 (I think? my normal weighted GPA is 4.6 so I'm not quite sure) unweighted 3.93
Rank: 20/570 (top 5%)
Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction, PSAT Commendation Letter, School Excellence Award, Honor Roll
Extracurriculars: Track and cross country, freshman orientation leader, NHS and CSF, other random clubs. pretty weak I know
My essays were decent-ish. I tend to be hard on myself for things like that. The formatting got totally messed up when I submitted though, which is beyond frustrating. Anyway</p>

<p>Could I get into UCLA? I also applied to UCSD, UCSB, Berkeley, UC Davis, Cal Poly, USC, Northwestern, UDub, and UT. UCLA is definitely my first choice though. Chance me??</p>

<p>Wow I literally applied to the same first 8 you listed as my only schools! Good luck, I’d agree with the first commenter’s evaluation, however with today’s competition, move everything up one level. I know of a kid last year with a 4.6 that played 3 sports (and had a bunch more extracurricular) and had high test scores and got denied at both UCLA and Cal. You definitely will have options though.</p>

<p>I think most of them are reach/low match but you got a good chance</p>

<p>bump bump …</p>

<p>Though the UC system is one of the most coveted and prestigious school systems in the country, a major flaw of theirs is accepting way too many, and often less deserving, California based students over those that apply out of state. I believe the out of state acceptance rate for those applying to UCLA is at a slim 8%, and with so many applicants to that school it’s nearly impossible to gauge one’s admission to such an institution. By your stats, I would assume you would be accepted. You seem to be very qualified, particularly with your weighted GPA of a 4.6 which is astonishing on its own. I can only hope the school sees your potential and accepts you.</p>

<p>Chance me back please: Chance me for Virginia Tech, will chance back</p>

<p>Why is the UC system one of the most coveted systems, Techhopeful?</p>

<p>@Techhopeful UCLA’s Out of state acceptance rate is 33% not 8%. Please don’t voice statistics that are blatantly false. To the chancing you will most likely get into most of these schools.</p>

<p>BRO/SIS u are in UCLA no doubt. Freaking beast.</p>

12

<p>All of those are matches, low matches, and safeties except for Northwestern</p>

<p>woah, i dont think OP is ‘IN’ to Berkley, NU or UCLA. He’s a good shot at all, high match for Berkley, match for UCLA and low reach for NU. An average essay, teacher rec or a bit of bad luck could easily get him denied from any of those 3 so he’s definitely not ‘in’</p>

<p>I think geography is no longer a factor at UCs… other than the minimum UCGPA of 3.4 required from OOS.</p>

<p>Thanks for the honestly everyone, a lot of times I feel like people are too generous with their chancing. I’ve heard so many horror stories about people from my school with far better stats than me getting rejected, so I don’t really want to get my hopes up… although I reeeally hope I get in. And I am a CA resident so hopefully that helps me?</p>
