<p>HI,</p>
<p>I think that UCLA (which has now overtaken UNC-CH) is officially my dream school because it is amazing in every single way. But I'm from OOS, which basically means I'm screwed because my SATs are beyond pathetic. So what can I do to make UCLA a match please. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>demographics:
*I am an Asian Indian Male (most likely won't help)
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon: Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school. (being from oregon isn't going to help either)
*student body at school = 500+</p>

<p>IN SUMMARY: I should finish high school with around 3.75 or 3.8 UW GPA, but I'll do what ever I can to prevent that from happening. If I go down in flames, then I'll end up with a 3.7.</p>
<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)

*Mathfest Participant (will have 4 years)
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150-175 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*Right now I get about a 1920-2050 on the SAT, 28-30 on ACT according to Practice Tests for SAT, and the PLAN (it's like the PSAT for SAT except the ACT version) on ACT, but I'm shooting for at least a 2100 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT. Don't count on me getting a 2100 or a 32 because its not going to happen as far as I can tell right now</p>
<p>For my personal statement, I will talk about why I've gotten poor grades, and how despite forming a study group, taking a $1000 SAT class, taking >10 practice tests I've managed to fail the SAT, plus why I want to go to UCLA.</p>
<p>Please tell me my chances,
Thanks</p>
