<p>if you’re in a minority ethnic group you’re basically guaranteed in.</p>

<p>There are about 50 Materials Science majors at UCLA… I wouldn’t go with it.</p>

<p>Had a slightly higher GPA (4.36) and marginally better SATs - got in c/o 2010 graduating end of this school year with my degree in BioE. I feel that things may have been getting tougher, and BioE is definitely one of the more selective majors, but you’ll have a shot. They aren’t really expanding the department because we’re about at capacity right now.</p>

<p>deuces: thanks for the feedback. from what i’ve been hearing, i hear that it getting extremely competitive to get in these days. is material science considered impacted?</p>

<p>ECs eh? 4 Years of Boy Scouts, 6 Years of tae Kwon Do, 5 years of library volunteering, 5-6 years of temple volunteering, 3 years of science olympiad, 2-3 years of student class council (need not be elected…just go and share ideas for improving school), and 2 years math tutoring club</p>

<p>nice ecs
but doesnt a 3.96 UC gpa mean more Bs than As or that you did not take hard courses?</p>
