<p>Everything looks good to me. I’d say it’s very likely that you’ll be an admit come next year this time. SAT score is just a little below average for admits though right on for actual attendees. If the score goes up, you’ll be in an even better position. You’ll get ELC status, too, as long as your school submits transcripts. Check here to see if they have done it: </p>
<p>I hope that some other people comment so that you won’t constantly worry about getting accepted like some of us ended up doing, but it might be a good thing to have fewer responses. It probably means people see you as having a boring record. That doesn’t mean it’s bad; there just isn’t all that much to criticize. It seems to me people are much more responsive when the poster has far less of a chance or zero chance of admission.</p>
<p>Your stats look good, very good, except for your SAT score. With a great GPA and great SAT II scores I’m surprised your Sat isn’t in the 2100 or 200 range. You might consider retaking to boost that. The only other comment would be that although you have great stats and worthy EC’s there isn’t anything unique or compelling. Not a real problem as long as you write fantastic essays. So bottom line: boost your SAT score and write great essays and I think you’re in!</p>
<p>Not sure what else you want to hear…we have all basically said the same thing; boost your SAT score, write excellent essays and you will have a very good chance. Nobody can say anything woth any certainty as people with better stats than yours have been rejected. If you’re waiting for 15 people to say you are in, 100% for sure, that’s not going to happen. You have a very good chance…just follow advice above.</p>
<p>you seem like an annoying person with all these bumps, which equals horrible personality, which equals horrible personal statement, so no, REJECT</p>
<p>If anything, all this bumping is going to keep people from giving you their opinion. You’re being annoying and rude by ignoring what they’re saying. Like they’ve said, you’ve got a lot of things going for you. Raise your SAT score and you’ll most likely be a shoo-in. Do something interesting, too. Everyone’s college application looks like yours. Do something that will make you stand out- it doesn’t have to be a stupid boring academic event or anything. Find something that you’re interested in, that you’ll have fun doing, and chill out. You’re a senior! Have some fun! However, if you don’t take people’s advice and have this horrible attitude all the time, I hope you don’t get in. Getting into UCLA meant a lot to me, but being an a<strong>hole about it… You’re **</strong>ing people off. They’ve already “chanced” you. Just chill, okay?</p>
<p>just retake your SAT, get the score above 2100 at the bare minimum, above 2250 to be safe (mine was 2270 and i got rejected from berkeley still, and i had similar stats as you)</p>
<p>Actually, why don’t you turn your desperation to get other’s opinions into something constructive! Let UCLA know in your personal statement/writings that you ABSOLUTELY ARE DESPERATE TO GO HERE!!! They will definitely notice if you are as obnoxious in writing as you are here :)</p>
<p>Sorry everyone if I am annoying you with all this bumping but just to clarify, that last bump was not made by me but by some stranger I do not know. I am not trying to be abnoxious at all. It is just that I am really nervous and scared since the application is almost here and UCLA has always been my first choice for the past few years so i really want to get in. I appreciate all you guys’ comments and advice. If you have additional ones, I would love to hear them. Thanks everyone for your help thus far!</p>
<p>I would advise you to calm down, first of all. March (when they release the decisions) is still a long ways away, and you’re gonna kill yourself with nerves if you keep thinking about whether you’ll get in or not.</p>
