Science = 28
Composite = 29
Writing = 36

Any thoughts of my chances? Anything at all would be so helpful!
@TomSrOfBoston
Thanks! Do you by any chance have any estimate percentages? Maybe 50% UCLA?
probably like 25% to UCLA and like 50% to BU.
What is your ACT not super scored since UCLA will only use your highest composite from one sitting?
I also think UCLA is a Reach based on posted information.
@Gumbymom
My ACT not super scored is also composite 29, this is with the 36 in writing.
English = 30
Maths = 28
Reading = 31
Science = 25
By reach, what do you think are my chances in terms of percentages as well? Thanks for your response.
@gormar099
Thanks! Do you think BU is worth it price wise? Being 70K in Boston for a year is extremely expensive, would you recommend going for it if I do get in for business/film?
not sure about film but bu business is certainly not bad. 70k a year is a lot, and you should talk to your family about that not some stranger on the internet, if it comes down to it
Reach for UCLA, Maybe 5-10% chance.
Because your ACT composite is not at or around 33-34 and, because you sound international, you would be OOS for California public UCs, so cost is $55k per year.
Alright, thanks so much guys for your information!
