<p>I play tennis too and did zonals. What state are you from?</p>
<p>@butters1 nj, and could you please chance me</p>
<p>Absolutely. Sorry. I’m from ca by the way. </p>
<p>So… Your scores are on the low side. UCLAs average GPA for applicants is 4.3 roughly. You have a good number of APs but I would try and have a tougher curriculum for senior year. There needs to be more than 3 APs if you can handle it. You should give us some SAT2s also to help you. Keep up your tennis and get in touch with coaches Asap. You can begin calling them July 1st, otherwise they can’t help you get accepted. Anything else that makes you truly unique? If you have great essays than your chances are good but you need to raise up some of your stats because you’re on the low side. </p>
<p>Chance me!</p>
<p>@butters1 </p>
<p>unweighted GPA is 92%/A- and weighted is 94%/A</p>
<p>on 5.0 scale for weighted, it should be 4.3+ actually, and unweighted on 4.0 scale is 3.7/3.8</p>
<p>best is just count my GPA as 92% and 94%</p>
<p>Never mind. Sorry. That’s a different system so I apologize. Now its just about differentiating yourself from all of the other kids. NYU is probably a little more difficult to get into than the other two, so your essays need to convey that. You have alright chances, but confirm it by raising your scores, GPA next year, and writing good essays. You should also do something major this summer which could sway your result.</p>
<p>Chance me!
