Can you and your family afford full fees at $60K/year? No FA for OOS students.

Intended major?

You are definitely in range for UCLA just be aware that they have capped the # of OOS/International applicants and have received the most applications for any college in this country. You will be facing tough competition for a small # of spots.

Best of luck.

Definitely competitive but UCLA is tough admit overall.
