<p>if your gpa is 3.3 some ish unweighted, is that basically a rejection? weighted mine is about 3.7 some ish...</p>
<p>anyway, ithink EVERYTHING else is very legitimate for my application...... </p>
<p>also, do eloquent essays have any worth? i heard UCs only care about your difficulties and stuff, and thats how they judge the essay's worth.....</p>
<p>anyway, yeah, that gpa is extremely gross, but i think i can redeem some points in my essay.....</p>

UCLA: Reach</p>
<p>There is no doubt that GPA is a factor in admissions, but, it is again, only one factor. I am pretty sure people have been accepted with equal or lower GPAs...just dont sweat the small stuff. If your essays are eloquent (as you put it) and everything else on your app (ECs, test scores, etc) is relatively up to par, then there is no reason why you dont have a chance for admission to UCLA. No admissions officer is going to outright reject you when they see 3.3 GPA on your application. So....dont give up, you got a chance, theres no doubt about it.</p>
