<p>Hello there, I'm wondering what my chances are at UCLA. I'm a junior, out of state (Texas) just got my first SAT results in, made a 2060 (660 Math, 710 CR, 690 Writing), About a 3.9 weighted GPA, AP/Honors in all courses but math, Top 10% of class, 3 years of Theatre, 3 years competitive Journalism (2nd in state this year), 2 years CX Debate, National Honor Society, a little church-y volunteer work, some officer positions in minor clubs, freshman class president. Possibly completing an internship at a small marketing firm this summer, pending interview. What are my chances at UCLA, as undeclared and then business-marketing grad or maybe Film/TV?</p>
<p>Will your parents pay OOS tuition for UCLA?
Not taking the most rigorous math is a minus.</p>
<p>Probably not, but I’m hoping for good financial aid! Am I in the running for some good scholarships with those stats? Is UCLA worth OOS tuition?</p>
<p>UCLA, like most publics, is awful with scholarships and financial aid. I wouldn’t expect any, even with exceptional stats.</p>
<p>As for your chances of being admitted, I would say UCLA is a low reach. You have roughly the average admitted SAT but your weighted GPA is a bit lower than average.</p>
<p>wats ur UC gpa?? if u don’t know how to calculate it, google it</p>
<p>Umm, according to this sketchy looking UC GPA calculator, it’s about a 4.13</p>

<p>but…</p>
<p>generally, I believe only AP and IB (not honors, pre-IB) classes can be weighted out of state.</p>
<p>"In order to be an “approved honors level course,” that high school course must be identified as honors level on your official high school “A-G” course list. You can find your school’s course list at

<p>Ah, okay. This says 4.19, I was close. Thanks for letting me know about that, though. Is that good/bad?</p>
<p>Maybe this will help.

<p>There is also a “statistics” page that might be better.</p>
<p>This is very helpful, thank you!</p>
<p>onto the rejection pile</p>
<p>Haha ouch. I appreciate your bluntness.</p>
<p>Honestly, you’re asking a message board where half of the members aren’t even in high school. Instead of posting here to make yourself feel better, why not just go out and do something productive, or heck, have some fun?</p>
<p>It kinda concerns me you’re looking into marketing/business at UCLA. UCLA grad school is pretty awesome, but as far as undergrad goes you’re probably better off elsewhere.</p>
<p>Based on your stats I’d say UCLA is a possibility, but not a definite. Your biggest +, is possibly, the fact you’re out of stat and have to pay a whole lot of tuition to be here. UCLA is not very generous about scholarships. If you want them start looking at third party scholarships asap.</p>
<p>UCLA does weigh more than the other UC’s on extracurriculars, so you do have that to your advantage. It would’ve been best if you could maintain officer positions but it can’t really be helped at this point.</p>
<p>My advice: try to take a president position next year and and also get your GPA up if possible. Maybe you’ll get in.</p>
<p>Now to play the cynic. How much do you want to come to UCLA? What about it drew you to that school? If you do go Film/Arts you’ll be fine. If you want to go into Journalism, likewise, you’ll be fine. But if you’re looking for business as an undergrad…try somewhere else. We got the Anderson school sure, but I think accounting/bus econ is the best thing you can take for prep as an undergrad.</p>
