<p>So I know UCLA happens to place a lot of emphasis on grades. I hope I can make this up in my essay/EC but... here are my stats :)</p>
<p>This is my top choice public school and it's been a dream school since I was little</p>

<p>GPA:</p>
<p>3.6 UW
3.8 UC W</p>
<p>*Sophmore 1st semester I messed up. Note that I have a C+ (79.9 :( ) for honors english 1st semester. I know this will severely hurt my chances</p>
<p>SAT: 2220 ; 680 R, 750 M, 790 W w/ 10 essay (will most likely retake for 750+ reading)</p>
<p>Classes:</p>

<p>Hook: Simply, that I'm a teenage entrepreneur. I've been making websites and making money from them since 4th grade It's a huge passion of mine. I'll be talking about how I grew as a person as I got older and more experienced (and from trial and error!). </p>
<p>i wouldn’t get your hopes too far down, cause with serious commitment, i believe you can do it. From your list of classes, it seems you’re in your junior year, and you still have a chance to raise your gpa cause you’re only a little over halfway thru high school. Try your best to get straight A’s, continue taking those AP classes and doing your EC’s. You have a solid SAT score, but it seems you haven’t taken your subject tests yet, so try to do well on those too (750+ preferred i guess). It’s pretty interesting that you are a teenage entrepreneur and that you started websites and earned money from them, so be sure to talk about that in your essays =P.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you’re a senior, then ignore all that above and i don’t know what the chances are lol.</p>
<p>My GPA is stuck because of the beginning of sophomore year, but there’s an obvious upward trend. I definitely plan to get those score on my subject tests too :D.</p>
<p>I just hope I don’t get an auto reject because of my grades. This school is just…well…amazing :)</p>
