<p>what do you go for 500 free poloplayer111?</p>

443

<p>haha - that award looks a lot better on paper than it really is - i won with a 5:14, which is a terrible time for high school - it’s not even close to qualifying for sectionals.</p>

<p>BUT…the favorite broke his arm, and the other guy who beat me got DQ’d…go figure. </p>

<p>i’m not a swimmer though, so i’ll take what i can get…</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach (out of state)</p>

<p>I love the California high school system… There are some notorious schools where you can rank below the 50th percentile of your class with a >2200 SAT I score, and some lesser-known schools where you can be the valedictorian with a <1800 SAT I score. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>does IB help u get in.</p>

452

<p>Yes, of course.</p>

<p>Do you have a choice between IB and APs? I’d go for APs in that case since UCLA’s policies are more receptive to AP credit.</p>
