<p>Hey, I'm a current high school junior who is hoping to attend UCLA in the future. What do you suppose my chances of getting in are? I plan to apply under bioengineering. Here are my statistics and whatnot:</p>
<p>SAT Subjects:
Math 2C: 740
Biology M: 760
Literature: 660</p>
<p>Sophomore Year GPA (1 honors course):
3.66 (both semesters)
with honors english</p>
<p>Junior Year GPA (3 honors/AP courses):
3.83 unweighted, 4.33 weighted (1st semester, 2nd semester more than likely to be the same)
with honors english, AP biology, AP statistics
projected 5's on AP biology and statistics exams (based on solid 5's on multiple practice tests)</p>
<p>Senior Year Schedule:
AP physics B
AP calculus BC
AP English literature
finite/discrete mathematics (college course)</p>
<p>Courses taken at community college:
General Psychology (A)
Intermediate Mandarin (A)</p>
<p>Extracurricular/Volunteer Work:
- six years piano, including National Musician's Guild award (national level)
- helped coordinate charity concert (raised money to send to poverty stricken Tanzania)
- approx. 200 hours community service, including volunteering at the local hospital and science camp counseling
- freshman year - freshman football team
- sophomore year - JV football team
- junior year - varsity football team
- senior year - will be on varsity football team again</p>
<p>So, do I have a decent chance at getting into UCLA? Thanks in advance for your input.</p>
<p>contrasting another poster... your admission is far from guaranteed. ucla rejects people with higher stats with you. YET, you have a good chance. match (in state assumption)</p>
<p>Haha yes, I'm a California resident. I guess I didn't include some details, such as that. Let's see..</p>
<p>California resident
Chinese-American male
Middle class (family income is between $40k and $60k, which is actually slightly below average in the district I am from, which is extremely affluent)</p>
<p>I will also probably write about my parent's divorce, which occured during my sophomore year, and my father's unstable mental state in my essays.</p>
<p>omg kazmachine..ur takin the exact same courses im takin right now for my senior year
don't worry, if i got accepted, you will too! ur stats are way higher than mine.....</p>
<p>what i'm hoping is that not a lot of asian guys with my stats will have varsity football on their application...lol. then again, it's not like i'm going to play collegiately for UCLA -___-</p>
<p>anyways...thanks everyone for your input so far</p>
<p>I find this ironic: "your admission is far from guaranteed" and "you have a good chance"</p>
<p>If you have a good chance, then you're NOT "far from a guarantee" to get into UCLA. Sure, people with higher stats may have been rejected from UCLA but judging from your high statistics, and extensive extracurriculars, I believe you are a very well-rounded person and thus fit for UCLA. Definitive.</p>
<p>To calculate your high school weighted UC GPA:</p>
<p>-Add up GPAs for academic semesters (i.e. no PE) for SOPHOMORE and JUNIOR years only.
-Add UP TO EIGHT (8 max) extra +1 gpa for each honors/ap semester.
-Divide by the number of academic semesters.</p>
<p>...and there you have your high school UCLA GPA.</p>
<p>this year it seemed that way, there were about 16 UCLA acceptances and... maybe 23-5 Berkeley... I know most of them and the stats were definitely stronger for UCLA, but Berkeley seemed to be affected by a good personal statement IMHO (remember, my sample size is veryyy small) - note: my school is 65% community college, 25% 4-year (mainly san jose state) - with me and my friend being the lone ivy league dudes.</p>
