<p>I believe Middle Eastern is considered Asian, but race doesn’t matter at UCLA anyway.
UCLA: Match</p>
<p>Ucla is a match for you. Lucky!! :/</p>
<p>Match, since UCLA is such a numbers-oriented school. :)</p>
<p>Are you in-state? If you are, UCLA is a match/low match for you. I would be surprised if you didn’t get in, but I can’t say for sure.</p>
<p>Yes I’m a local.
Thanks!</p>
<p>UCLA accepts 72% of those with a 4.0 GPA. With a high SAT score and decent ECs, you stand a very good chance. </p>
<p>UCLA: low match</p>

<p>How important are grades before sophomore year at UCLA?</p>

<p>Not very. I thought I wasn’t going to get into a lot of schools because my freshman year, my grades were not that spectacular. I’m pretty sure I got into UCLA because of ECs because my test scores were horrendous but I had a decent GPA too</p>
<p>@Atypical Not as important as sophomore-junior year, although if you did poorly, a strong upward trend in both grades and course rigor can easily negate poor freshman year grades. Even better if there was a reason for poor grades, like health, family issues, etc.</p>
<p>So how important are grades before freshman year at holistic schools like Stanford and Berkeley.</p>
<p>I went from 3.5 to 4.6 :)</p>

<p>@Atypical I’m not quite sure. I was in the same boat as you but I got into Berkeley.</p>
<p>All right. What do you think about working after school? Would the upper UCs value that? Or is it not worth the stress?</p>
