<p>Whats your UW GPA? (also important)</p>

<p>Your SAT and W GPA aren’t good. Extra curriculars and ELC is nice.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the UC’s are a #'s game so I would say reach, but I would apply anyway and make sure you apply to the other UC’s. Good luck</p>

<p>i turned it in and my UW gpa is like 3.77 for 10-11 and 3.71 for 9-11 if u can give me a percent that would be nice.</p>

<p>[Profile</a> of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2011 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof11.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof11.htm)</p>

<p>4.34 and 3.86 average admitted W and UW GPA.
~2,000 for the average admitted SAT.
(So actually your SAT is average, but your GPA is what’s holding you back)
How competitive are you compared to your classmates applying here?</p>

<p>UCLA is a tough school (#1 most applied to school in the country, lower % admitted than Berkeley), but there are always exceptions to the average so you never know</p>

<p>If your school views A-'s as 3.7’s I think you’ll actually have a chance. Plus, Gatos, the more applicants you have the more the percentage admitted naturally decreases because you’re still admitting the same number of applicants as before… There are only more unqualified applicants for the admissions officers to plow through as they create the admitted pool.</p>
