My parents/teachers are pressuring me to start looking at schools to apply next fall, I need help form people that have gone through the process and can give me a realistic opinion on where to apply. I like UCLA a lot but im not sure if i should even apply? I want to major in international relations and minor in business. What other schools are in my reach?</p>

<p>Well just to let you know, your frosh and senior grades do not count for the UCs at all. They don't include them when they calculate your grades. For senor year, they don't even see your grades until you're accepted but make sure to keep a 3.0 unweighted.</p>

<p>if you're applying to the uc's at all, you may as well apply to LA since it just involves checking another box, and you seem to have a decent shot. i applied to ucla as a "well, it might happen but i sure as heck don't wanna go there" kind of thing (i had my mind on some private schools), and now here i am, class of 2010! you NEVER know what might happen, nor do you ever really know where you'll want to be until you actually decide. good luck!</p>
