<p>I'm only a junior, so if you have an ideas for me to better my chances of being a University candidate, please share. I'm also looking for Community service/EC's that make me stand out from other applicants.</p>
<p>bump. Please help me!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I’ll chance back .</p>
<p>I know. I wish I could. I think it’s because I’m taking two electives that it brings it down… or that I could be calculating it incorrectly. ):</p>
<p>What is your intended major? </p>
<p>A couples ECs and Community Service Efforts that conveys your passion/interest in a particular field could help you. </p>
<p>All in all, I don’t know much, but I think you’d be a match for UCLA. </p>
<p>Chance me? I don’t have much informationn but some suggestions would help

<p>Is it bad that I got two 4.0’s Sophomore year. Could this be the reason it brings it down?</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what major. I’m interested in Visual Arts, or Graphic Design but my parents suggest that I become a pharmacist. I’m not sure UCLA has a premed program…?</p>
<p>Well, if your interested in visual arts/design at UCLA I believe (though I could be wrong) a portfolio is needed. So, in the case in which you do decide to go down the art/design path, a strong portfolio will (obviously) work in your favor 
</p>
<p>ECs and Community Service related to art and design would look awesome too.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. My cousin is currently a Visual Arts/Design major there right now. She had an excellent portfolio. </p>
<p>I am one of the best students in my beginning arts class the teacher isn’t great. His style of teaching is very robotic, and lacks true expression. I think he has a degree in Computer Arts… I hope that my school finds a better teacher for IB Art next year, or else I won’t have a very great portfolio to send in…</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. I calculated my GPA incorrectly… It should be 4.23 W.</p>
<p>It sucks when you aren’t fond of your teacher, hopefully you’ll get one you enjoy.
Honestly, your GPA and SATs are a great match for your first choice, UCLA - as long as your portfolio is fantastic you should be fine. </p>
<p>I know in my area lots of summer camps look for high school art students to help out (paid) as camp counselors, looking for an opportunity like that couldn’t hurt. : ]</p>
<p>Bump. I’ll chance back.</p>
<p>In at UCLA, UCI, UCSD & NYU. :)</p>
<p>Probably not at Stanford.</p>
<p>The only hypothetical scores are my junior spring semester grades which are currently in progress. I’m determined to do well on my SATs as well.</p>
