<p>gpa-3.39 verry low. i know.
don't mind my extracurricular activities/volunteer. i think they're good enough.</p>
<p>why ucla? with good ec's you can apply for better schools</p>
<p>Not with a 3.4...</p>
<p>but look at all her other scores does the gpa matter that much when she is applying with a 2400</p>
<p>Looked at as an 'unbalanced' candidate.</p>
<p>hahaha. almost the same as me except my extracurriculars suck and my gpa is good.</p>
<p>is 3.39 just too low for ucla? or is there still a chance?</p>
<p>are u a resident of CA</p>
<p>Does you have a relative that goes/went there.
Does your family contribute money?</p>
<p>yeah, im a resident of CA
but no to the other two.</p>
<p>-edit oh wait. i have two cousins that currently attend ucla. does that count or no?</p>
<p>bIGTWIX, legacy doesn't count at any UC although $$$ would!! Cousins don't count either. If you're Korean taking the Korean SATII is tacky. Yes, your Gpa is too low for UCLA but isn't there some rule whereby you can apply with SATs only?</p>
<p>Normally a candidate to UCLA gets about 4,120 points for their GPA score (GPA x 10)(41%)., and about 400 points for their 5 SAT I and SAT II scores (They average around 670 SAT I scores, which gives them 78 each and 700 on the SAT IIs, which are worth 83 points each) which are then multiplied by about 7 (2800) to get the equivalent rating basis (29%). This gives them a total of 6,920 points from the two areas, out of the 8,000 total points possible. (Other items, such as ECs and difficulty of courseload, and low income status, go into making up the total 11,100 points possible)</p>
<p>Since you will get 500 points for the test scores (100 each from all those 800s), that equals 3500 total points from tests. Your current GPA is 3.39 (I'm presuming that's your UC GPA), giving you 3,390 points from that, for a total of 6,890. As you can see, this leaves you only about 30 points off the average--meaning that if your extracurriculars are good or if you get any extra points from a tough courseload, you are a match for UCLA. But if you have weak ECs or have taken easy courses, you will not get into UCLA.</p>
<p>Also, you are an easy match for UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and UCI. </p>
<p>There is one other option (which I think you should consider, but it's up to you). The UC system also allows people to qualify for admission based solely upon test scores. Obviously, with 5 perfect scores, you would have a very good shot at UCLA or even UC Berkeley, if you prefer to go there. To do this, you mark on the application that you want to qualify based upon examination alone.</p>
<p>Here's the link that gives the details on the application options:</p>
<p>and here's the link that gives the scores you get from the different SAT I and SAT II tests at the UCs:</p>
<p>Note that you would obviously get the maximum 500 possible on the tests (410 is required for in-state residents, 425 is required for out-of-state residents for the lowest UC schools. As you would expect, the higher the scores, the better your chances to get into the better schools).</p>
<p>P.S. Since you lived in Korea, they will discount your 800 point Korean SAT score. But since you have 800 scores on two other SAT IIs and all three SAT Is, and they only count 5 tests--the Korean test score doesn't matter.</p>
<p>"Also, you are an easy match for UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and UCI."</p>
<p>I dont know about an easy match for UCSD. However, UCSB UCI and UCD are easy matches.</p>
<p>UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI/UCSB/UCI: Safe Match</p>
<p>I don't want to discredit you or anything but how can you get perfect scores on almost all standardised tests and have only a 3.39 GPA which is really low for top schools?</p>

<p>man I am jealous of that 2400. nice round number. I'm just ten points shy, but 10 points is worlds apart. more likely that not you will get in despite the terrible gpa.</p>
