Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm only a sophomore, but UCLA is honestly my only choice. If I don't get in, my parents will send me away to community college. Not that there's anything wrong with community college...but you get the idea. </p>

<p>I just want to get a feel of how I'm doing, and if it's strong enough for UCLA. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>You are definitely on the right track. Keep your grades up and start studying for the SAT’s ASAP. Your chances thus far are impressive but make sure to keep that momentum. Try not to be too satisfied with yourself. Basically,try to push yourself but not to an unhealthy state,if you catch my drift. Best of luck and I’m sure you’ll do great!</p>

<p>Good job! Work on raising that PSAT - NMS is a great way to get into college cheaper than everyone else, especially if you qualify! Plus, admissions (a bit) and bragging rights…</p>

<p>Keep up the A’s. Stay with that 4.0, you’ll be good.
Slight dearth in AP Science courses (Except for AP Bio and Calc BC - nice ones there!)…do you have any idea on your major? Your class choice (and doing hard ones) can say a lot to the AdComs. If I were you, I’d scrap that ceramics class and try my hardest to go full AP (AP Physics!! - if you’re going science/math and you like physics) - it says a LOT to universities. Then again, it all depends on your school skills, but you seem quite skilled - in short, full AP if you can and do what best fits your major.</p>

<p>ACT and SAT prep as mentioned before…</p>

<p>Try to boost up your ECs some more - good so far, but you can’t go wrong with more. Just make sure you try to focus your ECs around a single focus (e.g. medical, math, civil rights, etc) and do your best to SUPERBLY succeed in these areas. Colleges LOVE to see the student go above and beyond in one area. My friend made it to Yale on one EC that he dedicated his high school career to (can’t remember what it was unfortunately, knew him as a freshman). </p>

<p>Good luck and I hope I helped you!</p>

<p>Ceramics is for my Arts requirements, so I can’t scrap that one. And I’m scared AP Physics will murder me…gosh. Why is this so difficult?
Thanks for the advice though! :)</p>

<p>You are definitely on a good track, keep up with your ECs and your SAT/ACT prep. Honestly, if you pull up your ECs a tad more you could be in the league for T20 schools :)</p>
