<p>Goldfish:</p>

<p>UCLA: Match</p>

3

<p>UCLA: no chance</p>

<p>you need to take the new SAT</p>

4

<p>Take the new SAT, get at least 2000, and you've got a good chance.</p>

5

<p>well I took the new SAT, problem is I only got 2080 (terrible!!!!!!)- THAT'S why I didn't include it</p>

6

<p>uhuh...</p>

<p>+characters</p>

7

<p>goldfish,</p>

<p>UCLA: slight reach</p>

<p>boost your SAT score cuz it's tougher to get in from out-of-state. everything else looks fit for a match. make sure you do good on the essays cuz that could be a key factor.</p>

8

<p>err...hate that out-of-state policy</p>

9

<p>well, your new SAT score would be about average only for in-state anyway. better to always try to have above average right?</p>

10

<p>yeah, but I'm not sending in that SAT score (even if I have to pay extra).</p>

11

<p>btw, how many recommendation letters do you need?</p>

12

<p>Actually, you don't need any recommendation letters...
The UC adcoms ignore all letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>WHOOHOO!! No need bothering my teachers for that one. )</p>
