<p>UCLA: Reach</p>

4

<p>ayyy ok...what if i put undeclared-soc. sciences for my major? Does that help at all?</p>

5

<p>Unfortunately, no. Your major has no impact whatsoever on admissions unless you are interested in a major outside of the College of Letters and Science.</p>

6

<p>how big of a reach is it?</p>

<p>This should give you an idea, collegeaddict: </p>

<p>thanks. i guess it's a BIG reach. I need a miracle! :(</p>

<p>flopsy, what do you think? about what percent chance do i have?</p>

<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>Heh, flopsy. Hey Emmeline, you should take a stab at it too. </p>

<p>Well, I'm just a new guy here (compared to the other gods-of-CC), but to put things in perspective, my friend got a 1830 on the SAT I. What helped her get into UCLA (besides the seemingly random selection process used by Admissions) was her year-long internship with a hospital. She wrote about that copiously and with many personal details. I'd say if your internship was in-depth enough, go ahead and focus on it for your personal statement. With UCLA's new holistic admission process, a great extracurricular like that should be decisive.</p>

<p>collegeaddict:
Slight Reach</p>

<p>Below Average: SATs, GPA
Average: APs
Above Average: EC</p>

<p>Your intership is a plus. I've seen people get admitted with lower stats than you with similar ECs.</p>

<p>hahaha well i guess ur in a similiar situation that i'm in. My UC gpa weighted is a 3.8 but my SAT is a 2140. However, i have a Microsoft Internship and ppl told me that if i wrote great essays and shared my Internship experience it would be the factor that would make or break me. Hopefully that data base is nationally known. gl!</p>

<p>thanks everyone!</p>
