<p>um can you submit sat score out of 1600 than 2400 or does ucla prefer the 2400 mark.</p>
<p>It has to be 2400. The last class that they accepted 1600s from was 2 years ago.</p>
<p>@Jinks, Reach. I actually know a couple of people with similar stats (way higher GPAs though) that got in, but it seems to happen more with L&S than engineering. It would be helpful if you listed a major.</p>

<p>Slight Reach.</p>
<p>Wow fast reply. Thanks. About how bad is slight reach? I always hear it but do you have a rough percentage?</p>
<p>Match is like being beyond the 50% chance of getting in, while high match floats around 50%. Slight Reach is if there is less than a 50% chance of getting in, but, in this case, higher than the official admissions rate (23.8%). Reach is if the chance of admission is below the official admissions rate.</p>

<p>Well i am not really sure about a major yet. However wat i plan to do is get a major in buisness with a emphasis on pre-medicine. Is that an impacted major at UCLA. Does major have an effect with acceptance? </p>
<p>Also what can i do to improve my chance. I am a reach, that makes me glad. I am planning to take the ACT again! I got a 29 w/ no preparation and my English score ruined my composite score. I am also taking SAT again however i feel much more comfortable with ACT.</p>
<p>No. You just take some science GEs while taking your biz-econ pre-requisites. BizEcon is impacted; you apply later on after your pre-reqs.</p>

<p>thank you flopsy 
btw just curious, on what are you basing your evaluations? how heavily are you weighing GPA, SAT/ACT, versus ECs and whatnot? I see you have a ton of posts so I would imagine you have a lot of experience in predicting students’ chances, but I would be interested in learning more about how you do it.</p>
<p>I base my evaluations based on the published statistics at [UCLA</a> Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu%5DUCLA”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu) and on the annually posted stats of College Confidential members who were accepted to/rejected from UCLA every March. I don’t “weigh” anything, I just try to match numbers to admits’ numbers. :rolleyes:</p>
