11th grade: gpa=3.88(uw)/4.108(W) Rank = 41/317 (w) and 30/317 (uw)
12th grade: Hon speech/comp (Ap english was cancelled)

<p>it's sad how ppl spill out their entire life to everyone. JUST APPLY! That's the only way you know if you are going to get in or not.</p>

<p>well he didn't spill out his entire life.. he wouldn't say what his SAT's were haha.</p>

<p>i'd say it'd be a slight reach if you would bring up your test scores...otherwise ucla is a reach for you.</p>
