I’m only a sophomore, but UCLA is my dream school, although I am applying out of state from North Carolina.
My weighted GPA right now is about 4.1, but I might be able to raise it next semester. I go to a pretty rigorous private school with about 130 students per class and I am in mostly advanced classes: Adv. Algebra II/Trig, AP World History, Accelerated Chem (Does not factor +.5 into GPA), and Adv. French, with plans to take AP US History, AP French, and maybe AP Bio next year as a junior. I’m also part of the Global Studies Program which demands many required courses and additional journaling and clubs. The only standardized test I’ve taken is the PSAT which i received a 1350 out of 1520 on with the new scoring method. I was on the honor council freshman year, I’m in the guys acapella group and regularly arrange for them, am a varsity wrestler, and am in the Model UN club which I hope to become a leader in next year. I also study arabic with a private tutor outside of school and hope to maybe do a language program over the summer. I am sort of lacking in terms of my community service, although I am in the Students of Service club at my school and am starting a new community service project with my friend where we plan to teach music to disadvantaged kids, as well as going on a mission trip over the summer with my friend’s youth group. The summer before freshman year I was a national finalist in the history bee, but I don’t know if that’s worth anything. My social life, as well, is pretty demanding and I would consider myself an outgoing person. I am white and my parents are pretty wealthy as well if that is worth anything.
So, judging from those accolades, what are my chances of getting into UCLA?
