hopeless

<p>Is a 3.66 UC GPA bad enough that having (a super high SAT score, great extra curriculars, and an outstanding essay) won't make a difference? I want to get into this school but now that i think of it, my UC GPA is just too low because i got C's both semesters from the same class, consequently lowering my UC GPA by .2 points. So should i just stop hoping, and hope that i'll get in as a transfer? thanks</p>

<p>Yea..same problem for me. My UC GPA is a 3.8, went from 3.6 in sophmore year to 4.08 Junior year though. Then my UC GPA this semester was 4.3</p>

<p>Assuming a super high SAT score, great extra-curriculars, and an outstanding essay,
UCLA: Match</p>

<p>Would a 2150 count as a super high SAT score?</p>

<p>Taiwanese: No.... x_x</p>

<p>For sliguy, I'm assuming that by 'super' high SAT score, you mean that you're well into the 2200s...?</p>

<p>2150 is way about UCLA's average, I got the same score (with a slightly lower GPA than you) and my counselor said that with a killer essay I should be alright for UCs (I am in state). He also mentioned some way of applying with test scores only, which I would ask your school counselor about. I think its something where provided you have about a 650 in each subject you qualify. I ended up not applying to UCs, so I'm not super sure what the story is with that, but I'd look into it. Good luck!</p>

<p>Hmmm...thanks. I'm actually still trying to pull my SAT up to the 2100's. </p>

<p>So 2100 SAT with my under average GPA with great essay and EC. Am I stilll a reach?</p>

<p>wow. i was expecting more of a reach, but just to clarify the 3.66 is the weighted GPA. And ya, by high SAT i meant 2200 or above. thanks</p>

<p>A super-high SAT score for UCLA is 2250 or above. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>oh no.....x_x</p>

<p>I almost thought this was silly101...</p>

<p>it also depends on your high school- and the environment you're around. I scored a 2180 and that was the highest at my high school - got into cornell, cal, and columbia engineering as well. Write a damn good essay to give yourself a shot.</p>

<p>my school's grades are way inflated. In order to get into ELC at our school you can only have one B. The two C's i got at an inflated school will hurt me alot then. But there are probably only 7 people who scored 2100 and above, so scoring a 2250 would put me in the top 3 or 4 in my class.</p>

<p>@TaiwaneseTerror, I had a 4.0 and a 2190, so I guess we're similar. Don't apply for engineering though, I think this year's admissions is just going to get harder DX</p>

<p>Lol Peppers, I'm actually trying to raise it to 2150+, mine is nowhere close right now. T_T<br>
But i think i got my 2 killer essays and some pretty good ec's.....</p>

<p>ECs don't count unfortunately. Good luck to you anyways.</p>

<p>Huh? EC's don't count?? I'm' saying I'm hoping my essays and EC's can make up for my bad SAT score</p>

<p>Whoa, my bad. I read that as letters of rec. Sorry to give you a scare ><</p>

<p>How does one get ELC? I didn't get it... I had a 4.5!!</p>

<p>Were you top 4% of your graduating class?</p>

<p>That's how I had gotten it. :x</p>
