<p>Hey guys. I moved to the US about two years ago from another country. When I moved here, I didn't know any English and it was extremely difficult for me to catch up to other students and get good grades. I have a 4.0 unweighted gpa, 4.3 weighted, a 2160 on the sat, 800 on math level two subject test, 750 on chemistry subject test, 5 on ap chem test, 4 on ap computer science and ap statistics. I will have taken 7 aps by the end of my senior yr, which is this year. And my personal statement is basically about how difficult it was for me to adapt to the new environment, culture, and the new language. EC wise, I don't have much except for having played soccer for my school for two yrs, having around 300 hrs of volunteering at the ucla hospital and one of ucla research centers, and having done an abstract research paper in that lab/research center. So I was wondering if I have a chance of getting into ucla?
Thanks so much for ur opinions</p>
<p>UCLA: Match/High match (can you pay full-freight?)</p>
<p>Eh not really. But I’m applying for financial aid(FAFSA). So I actually have a chance?</p>
<p>What? Yes of course you do. I don’t know how you could say you don’t have much EC wise, and your scores and grades are great.</p>
<p>What’s with the doubt?</p>
<p>Haha thank u so much. It’s just that ucla is really competitive as u know</p>
<p>Also, I was going to apply to some ivy leagues.(the only out of state colleges I’ll apply to) I know that neither my ec nor my academics are good enough for an Ivy League, but my parents think they’ll like my story of hardship and consider me. So, what do u guys think?</p>
<p>You have a great chance, especially with that amazing GPA
UCLA: match</p>

<p>Thank u guys. So no comments for my latest post about ivy leagues?</p>
