<p>4.00 UC GPA, 2010 SAT I (690 CR, 590 W, 730 M), 740 SAT II Math IIC, 730 SAT II Physics, XC 4 years, track 3 yrs.</p>
<p>Weighted classes: AP physics B, AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Preferrably, what are my chances to UCLA?</p>
<p>Good grades and pretty good SATs, but I'm not sure if that's enough for UCLA</p>
<p>only 2 weighted classes? Your GPA is outstanding but your course selection has to be rigorous as well. If you took more AP/Honors courses throughout 10th and 11th grade then I would call it a match, if not then a reach.</p>
<p>can anyone else chance me?</p>
<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safe Match-Safety</p>
<p>Berkeley: reach
UCLA: slight reach
UCSD: match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: safe match
UCR/UCM/UCSC: safety</p>
<p>Your UC GPA is a little low for UCLA.</p>
<p>i rounded my UC GPA down a bit. if it helps, my UC GPA was actually 4.04 (wow! .04 difference - probably doesnt matter)</p>
<p>lol! since no one is responding, i just want to say that im already in college and i got into UCLA. i started my apps a week before deadline</p>
<p>then why post a thread?</p>
<p>i just wanted to see how well people could predict these things. i would say that i was a match for UCLA because i got a letter saying that they will highly consider me</p>

<p>now, whose stats are better? mine? or my friend (going to be a senior)whose stats are:</p>
<p>3.82 UC GPA, 2210 SAT I (800 M, 670 CR, 740 W - 9 Essay), 800 Math IIC, 750 SAT II physics >> advanced courses: english honors, english AS (soph yr advanced), AP Physics B, APUSH, AP Spanish language</p>
<p>4 years XC and track, 4 yrs chess club and he won the school chess tournament this year, 150+ hrs of volunteering at the local hospital</p>
<p>i was in the same school as him - very competitive; 18 people going to UCB, maybe 30ish going to UCD, more than 10 to UCI, 1 to Dartmouth, 1 to USC, 1 to Cornell, 1 to Reed, 1 to Kenyon, 2 to Stanford, 8 to UCLA, 1 to Yale, and many more...i couldn't keep track</p>
<p>...I still don't get how you're in at UCLA. Are you c/o 2011 or something?</p>
<p>Your friend won't make it in because his UC GPA is far too low.</p>
<p>wat does c/o 2011 mean? anyways, i'm attending UCLA this fall. and, does 0.2 in the GPA with high SAT scores really make a big difference?</p>
<p>Yes, because that generally shows weaker grades, or a less rigorous courseload. SAT scores can make a difference. Your SAT score is at UCLA's average. Your SAT IIs are good, though you only have 2 APs, which is pretty weak. You have weak ECs, too. I'm a little surprised you got in, though people like you do sometimes make it in.</p>
<p>I'd say your friend's is better -- his courseload is more rigorous, even though his GPA is a bit lower, his SAT is higher, he has better ECs, and better awards/honors. His weak GPA though could've kept him out of the top UCs.</p>
<p>Your UC GPA was 4.04, UCLA's average is 4.12 or so.<br>
Your SAT I scores are 2010, UCLA's averages are 2006 or so.
Your SAT II scores are 740/730. UCLA's averages are around 650/650.</p>
<p>Your difficulty of courseload is low, but apparently your school doesn't offer much in the way of difficulty--and if you got a UC GPA of 4.04 with only 2 honors courses, this means your regular grades were actually higher than the average of those getting into UCLA by quite a bit (average is like 3.8 UW, but you had to be around 3.9 UW).</p>
<p>Also, your track and cross country activities (3 and 4 years) shows a definite passion and leadership as well.</p>
<p>If you actually look at the UW GPA and the test scores, you realize the OP is higher than the normal UCLA admittee, so therefore it's not that surprising he/she was accepted.</p>
<p>P.S. I said on another thread that's it's not rude to pm someone and ask them to give you chances. However, I think it is rude to do so if you've already been accepted, and therefore don't really need chances (as was the case here).</p>
<p>"XC 4 years, track 3 yrs" doesn't show much passion -- plenty of people do that, and it's simply a sport. If, say, the OP had gone to big competitions, won medals, led teams, etc. I'd call it a passion.</p>
