Chances at UCLA and CAL

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>ok so I attend Laguna Hills High, CA; its a competitive high ranked public school in CA that usually gets about 15 acceptances to UCLA and Berkeley each year</p>

<p>Im the current valedictorian of the 2011 class with straight As ever since.
I took 2 years of orchestra and 2 years of MUN and 4 years of Spanish.
Part of several community service clubs and have about 100 hours.
IB Full Diploma Candidate
ELC member</p>

<p>but I'm mostly worried about my SAT score, which is 1980 (i got the same score 3 times); but I did well on SAT subjects: 760 in US hist and 740 in math lvl 2</p>

<p>I also got a 2 in AP spanish test, but 5s on 4 others.</p>

<p>Im planning on taking the ACT for my first time this Dec. and hoping to get a 30+ (which would really satisfy me cause i heard the ACT is easier and the act-sat equivalence standard is pretty much off)</p>

<p>Also, my ethnicity is asian and my nationality is canadian if that makes any effect</p>

<p>oh ya UC GPA is like 4.5 and school total weighted GPA is like 4.85</p>

<p>and I chose bio majors</p>

3

<p>So you took 6 Ap’s so far? How does that translate to a 4.85? Plus, UC GPA is capped, so a 4.5 (I believe) is not possible.</p>

4

<p>I took 5 AP tests so far, taking 2 more senior year (AP Bio and Calc BC); and the 4.85 school gpa is AP courses and Honors courses combined (I got 4.6 both semesters freshman year, 4.8 sophmore, 5.2 junior, 5.0 senior)</p>

<p>UC GPA only includes AP courses- which on my transcript says UC GPA: 4.5 (it is possible anyway since average UCLA gpa from freshman admittances is like 4.2 or something)</p>

5

<p>like i said, it’s capped to 8 weighted semesters. I could be wrong, but I don’t think a 4.5 is possible.</p>

6

<p>5.2 GPA Junior year? o_O</p>

7

<p>hahaaha^^^^ yea ***. I think ur gpas are off</p>

8

<p>oh my gosh it’s dtran! you’re not gonna have any problems getting accepted and i hope you go to UCSD with me so i can touch your jacket <3 ahahaha</p>

<p>can you clarify your community service hours please 100 in year or your entire high school experience?</p>

<p>however i don’t think the uc are going to accept you with an 1980 your valedictorian status is great but unfortunately your sats and lack of passionate Ec’s might ruin your chances</p>

<p>either your numbers are SERIOUSLY off, or you might be using a different scale system…odd since you live in california.</p>

<p>otherwise, apply to Harvard.</p>
