<p>Hi! I have read posts on this website forever, but this is my first post! Anyways, I really want to go to UCLA (it's my top choice, but i'm open to others), but I'm not sure if I'll get in or not, because my GPA is kind of low. I'm an african-american senior at a really rigorous charter school (currently 6th best high school on US news, formerly number 1), so I'm wondering if UCLA will take that into account when reviewing my application! Anyways, here's my stats:</p>
