Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances are for getting into UCLA.</p>

<p>During my Freshman and Sophomore year, I had some severe depression that was affecting my grades, and yes, I know its not an excuse.</p>

<p>Freshman GPA 2.1
Sophmore GPA 2.2
<--This summer is when I came out of my hole-->
Junior GPA 3.8 UW W 4.2</p>

<p>SAT 2300* I dont quite remember the EXACT number off the top of my head, I know its at least 2300 and probably a bit more.</p>

<p>So do I still have a chance?</p>

<p>1) are you from CA?
2) without ECs, rank, course rigor, leadership positions, community service info, we can’t chance you accurately.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m from San Diego.</p>

<p>Planning on Comp-Sci, lots of community service, worked nearly all summer freshman year at an elementary school.</p>

<p>the only EC that I have been a part of is the robotics team.</p>

<p>Ouch that 2.1 and 2.2, really takes a hit on your application. But that SAT score is a HUGE help. However, there are people who are applying who have 3.5 or higher with really good SAT scores. </p>

<p>So maybe in your personal statement you could maybe explain the reason why, your grades were bad the first two years, because of your depression. </p>

<p>But UCLA is a high reach. I think you would match UCSB perfectly with that stellar SAT score. </p>

<p>Chance back please?
