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

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am an International student, currently studying 12th Grade in the United Arab Emirates in a school which follows Indian curriculum CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education).</p>

<p>I wanted to do a degree in Aeronautical Engineering.</p>

<p>I just wanted to know what my chances are in getting admission into UMich, Ann Arbor, UVA, UIUC and University of Notre Dame. </p>

<p>I dont have GPA grading in my school. The grading is purely based on marks obtained:
9th - 85%
10th - 90%
11th - 80%</p>

<p>I had also recieved a half-fee scholarship in grade 11.</p>

<p>ACTIVITIES :
I have been selected to attend the Global Young Leaders’ Conference (GYLC) in Washington/New York this year.
Swimming
Singing
Made Robot for science exhibition
Created a presentation on the periodic table
Helped the team in coming 3rd in an inter-school robot competition
Part of the school Anti-Smoking Committee
I have been learning Indian Carnatic Music vocal for over 10 years and have give a 2 and half hour concert. I have also been learning Carnatic Music violin for over 3 years. </p>

<p>SAT SCORES:
MATH - 700
CR - 600
WR - 600
Planning to give it again to improve my score.</p>

<p>Going to give SAT II's in November. Will get above 750 in maths, physics and chemistry.</p>

<p>Teacher Recommendations will be really good. Not sure what the school counsellor will write (but got info from previous school mates in US universities that we usually get really good recs).</p>

<p>Am going to start working on the essays when the apps are released and HOPEFULLY they should be good.</p>

<p>I am mostly going to do either MBA or law after undergraduate. Which of these universities are good in both Engineering and MBA or law.</p>

<p>Will appreciate all responses. good as well as bad.</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>doesnt look like you want to go to UCLA</p>

<p>but if you do,
UCLA: reach</p>

<p>though flopsy can give a better evaluation since you're a prospective engineering major. </p>

<p>also, UCLA does not accept letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach (out of state, Engineering)</p>

<p>Your SAT I scores are below average for UCLA; also, your UC GPA would be ~4.00 (assuming 85% = 3.50 and you took at least six semesters of AP/IB/honors courses), which is also below average for UCLA. Your robotics EC may be your hook, but you still need an SAT I score of ~2100, SAT II scores of ~730/~730 and a UC GPA of ~4.15 to be competitive for UCLA Engineering from out of state... Therefore, I think UCLA would be a reach for you. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>i though that GPA were out of 4</p>

<p>i thought that GPA was graded out of 4</p>
