<p>50% chance???</p>

<p>This is how I'd grade you, with C as 50% chance.</p>

<p>GPA: C
Major: ?
SAT I: C-
SAT II: D
EC: B+</p>

<p>Overall: You have about 40% chance. Let us know your major so we can better gauge your chances.</p>

<p>Slight Reach.</p>

<p>Major=East Asian Studies
I understand my SAT 1 is indeed a C- score, but did you see my ACT? It's a little better (33)</p>

6

<p>Still a slight reach. Your major is not impacted. Your SAT II scores and GPA are still a bit below average. Everything else looks good though! :)</p>

7

<p>boelterhall, i was always under the impression your major isn't considered in the admissions process. (unless you're applying outside of the L&S)</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach</p>

<p>Jam3rz, I had thought of that, but major must be a really small factor. If it so happened that one year, many applicants applied as one major, there must be some rejections made. </p>

<p>I would think that there must be a quota within each major, though not strict. (not quite sure of the story behind this)</p>

10

<p>well, hard to say, but it does state explicitly on the website that your intended major isn't considered. <em>shrug</em> but you never know.</p>

11

<p>I can see you at UCLA, but you're a reach/slight reach.</p>

12

<p>oh, of course, east asian studies :D</p>

13

<p>great ACT score! :)</p>
