Do I even have a shot?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles
1

<p>SAT: 1820
ACT: 27
(I took the SAT Subject Tests but scored really poorly, so I didn't submit them)
GPA: approximately 3.5
Rank: 2nd decile (top 20%)</p>

<p>I don't have any APs, but I have two years of Honors English as well as a bunch of college courses (English 1A, English 1C, French II (dual-enrolled), History 17A, Music 11 (History of Jazz & Rock), Nutrition, English 18, CMST-54 (Small Group Communications), and Math 14 (Statistics).</p>

<p>I have a lot of Extracurriculars: Link Crew, Junior Class Vice President, Student Senate, College Connection, College Connection Senate, Key Club, Interact Club, Rotaract Club, Cheerleading, Ski Team, etc.</p>

<p>Also, I participated in Summer@Brown last summer, which allowed me to live and study on the Brown University campus in Rhode Island for about two weeks. It was an incredible opportunity that taught me so much. This is what I wrote one of my essays about.</p>

<p>My other essay was about the troubles I went through being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. It was the process of being in and out of school to go to doctors appointments and the effects that it had on my social life as well as my education, etc. I know this is kind of a boring topic for admissions people to read, but it played a big part of my high school experience and it really impacted who I am.</p>

<p>Volunteer experience: I volunteered at a local hospital for about two years and earned about 200 hours of volunteer experience.</p>

<p>Also, I am from California, so I am an in-state applicant. Female. From a public school in a rural area where not a lot of people go to college.</p>

<p>Also applied to a bunch of UCs, Brown, Duke, UW, Boston College, and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Very unlikely that you would be admitted.</p>

<p>Why are you going around and madly posting chance requests so close to the time for admissions decisions? Just chill, OK? You’ll get in where you get in, no one’s opinion here will change your applications or the decisions.</p>

<p>yes you have a shot. Every year people who you would think have absolutely no chance get into schools like these. Admissions to schools like UCLA is incredibly random. People with 2300 sats are rejected and people with lower stats are accepted instead. Good luck! You will know soon enough and wherever you get in whether it be UCLA or somewhere else, you will have a great experience! I hope that we are both attending UCLA next year!</p>
