Chance me for engineering?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>In State
Race: Asian
Major: Engineering (Mechanical/Electrical)
GPA: UW - 3.8; W - 4.5
SAT: 1980 (690 M, 680 W, 610 R)
SAT IIs: Math 2 - 730, US History - 670
Rank: 21/846 (One of most competitive high schools in Southern California). I am part of ELC, so I am basically guaranteed to all UC's except Berkeley and LA.</p>

<p>APs: 14 of the hardest AP classes my school has to offer (Euro, Chem, US, Physics, Art History, Calculus, Lang/Comp, Macro/Micro Econ, US/Comp Gov, French, Stats, Literature, Biology)</p>

<p>Normal amount of ECs and Community Service</p>

<p>Everything is good except your SAT score. Aim for a 2200.</p>

3

<p>You’ll most likely be rejected. You don’t have the stats for Engineering. You’d need to significantly raise your SAT and SAT II math scores.</p>

<p>I got in with a 1980 SAT, 5 APs, 720 SAT Math I, 690 SAT Math II.</p>

<p>Well you guys do make me a little more confident lol</p>

<p>Hopefully I get in. Hopefully more people on CC who went to UCLA will post</p>

<p>Why is everyone with subpar stats posting? What’s are you guys trying to prove? We all know it’s possible to get into UCLA Engineering with a low SAT score but the fact stands that the mean SAT score of an admitted UCLA student is 2030 and even higher for HSSEAS.</p>

<p>

Math is quite important for success in the engineering program, and your scores are on the low side. 80% of the admits in 2009 had a math score of 700 or better. 50% of the admitted applicants had 750 or better in math. So while about 1 in 5 kids got in with scores in your range, clearly the stats show the chances are tilted against you. </p>

<p>I agree with mikemac, the odds are stacked against you but your chances also improve with good EC’s and well-written essays. Check out the link below: </p>
