<p>zh0u:</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach</p>

7

<p>think u'll get in. depends on ur essay</p>

8

<p>I agree with flopsy - slight reach simply because the GPA is kinda low as well as the number of AP courses (uness you also took honors or if your school didn't offer much more) and its scores. ECs look great and SAT scores are very good.</p>

9

<p>Match. Boost SAT a little bit and do good on essays.</p>

10

<p>i want to say you're in, but don't get your hopes up...i had a friend with even better stats who didn't get in. otherwise, yea your stats are looking good</p>
