<p>I already applied to UCLA, but now I'm getting nervous waiting until March 23rd. I didn't realize until after I applied how competitive it is! So anyway, here are my stats:</p>
<p>I am from out of state and white</p>
<p>ACT: 32
English: 35
Math: 29
Science: 29
Reading: 36
Writing: 8
(the other time I took it I got a 31)</p>
<p>no SAT
PSATs: 204</p>
<p>unweighted GPA: 3.85
weighted GPA: 5.85</p>
<p>ECs: dance team, math team, musical, community service, forensics, national honor society, lifesmarts, </p>
<p>2 AP classes and 2 college classes taken online with above Cs in all of them (C, B, B, A)
Also one of them was from UCLA online if that matters.
The rest of my classes have been rigorous and I will have taken 5 math classes, 5 english, 4 science, and 5 social studies classes.</p>
<p>Chance me please! I will chance back!</p>
<p>have you only taken 2 AP classes in all? if so, you’re probably not competitive enough for UCLA. your scores and ECs seem fine but your grades/lack of hard classes might not cut it</p>
<p>Yeah, but my school only offers 3 APs, and I’m in pretty much every EC offered at my school too. At other colleges I applied to, they asked for a guidance counselor’s recommendation and she put all that information in there. That’s why I think it’s really gonna hurt me that they don’t ask for any recommendations.</p>
<p>Ya that might hurt you. Maybe email your admissions person at UCLA and explain the situation.</p>
<p>how do you have a 5.85 weighted GPA if you only took 2 AP classes???</p>
<p>because the 2 college classes still count as a weighted grade so at my school, 4 advanced classes x .5 = 2 GPA points</p>
<p>That’s not how the UC weighting system works. You add 1 point on a GPA scale for every AP or Honors class. For example, if you had an A in AP Chemistry, it would be a 4.0 unweighted but it would be a 5.00 weighted. The maximum GPA is a 5.00. Not sure where you got the 5.85 from.</p>
