<p>I know that my SATs/leadership aren't very impressive.. i'm hoping to compensate for that with a great essay? perhaps?</p>

<p>p.s... i know it doesn't do much to my stats, but i forgot to add that I worked two summers.. in restaurants. haha. no big deal.</p>

<p>Because of how the UC system works, your GPA and SAT scores would not get you into UCLA out of state. If you were a CA resident, it would be a whole different story.</p>

<p>Pomona is going to be a pretty decent reach and so is Wesleyan (though Wes is a smaller reach).</p>

<p>NYU CAS is a match/high match for you. It's probably your best bet out of the list.</p>

<p>Best wishes.</p>

<p>UCLA: reach</p>

<p>Raise your SAT score a bit and it'd be closer to a match.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your input...</p>

<p>i don't know if this changes anything, but I found statistics on UCLA admissions, and it seems as though i would be equally (if not more) likely to get into the school as a non-resident...</p>

<p>also, i toured UCLA last summer, and they said that applications are now reviewed holistically... so maybe they'll be able to look past my subpar SATs.. eek.</p>

<p>That website does not show you the SAT breakdowns for in-state and out-of-state kids. The scores for oos kids would be significantly higher, as a rule.</p>

<p>mmm. makes sense :-&lt;/p>
