I am a junior in high school (a top ranked california hs), I am wondering if I could get into UCLA??

I am ranked 42 in my class out of 605, I got all 4.0s throughout freshman/sophomore years, 4.33 GPA first semester of junior year and I’m taking 3 AP classes along with Precalculus… next year I am taking 4 APs (AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Lit, AP Econ/gov, and Spanish 4)
I have only taken the ACT once and scored a 31 and plan to take it again to hopefully raise my score…

ECs:
-softball (travel and high school)
-Red Cross club
-National Honor Society
-various volunteer hours

Do I have a chance at getting into UCLA??

Compare your stats to last years Freshman class and see where you stand. Just remember that with over 100,000 applicants it will probably come down to your Essays and EC’s to set you apart from the rest. Focus on these areas.

At a top-ranked in-state school, the counselors should be very familiar with the profile of students from the school that have been accepted to places like Cal and UCLA. Check with your GC
