<p>Hey guys, I'm really nervous about college now, and I really want to get into UCLA.
Can someone give me the flat out honest truth if I have a chance?</p>

<p>SAT grades:
reading 630
Writing 680
Math 790
Total:2100 </p>

<p>Overall High school GPA Unweighted: Sophmore(3.4)+Junior(3.8)= 3.6
Overall weighted high school GPA: Sophmore( 3.6)+ Junior(4.3)= 3.95</p>

<p>I'm hoping my senior semester will raise both of those GPA's up by about .1....</p>

<p>AP and Honors Classes so far: </p>

<p>Algebra 2 trigonometry Honors,
AP euro,
AP Physics,
AP biology,
AP Statistics,
AP calc,
AP Chem,
AP English.</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Eagle Scout,(Organized a 350+ hr service project)
500+ hours of volunteering at a hospital,
School and County Band,
Certificate of Merit(Piano),
Hospital internship over the summer,
Varsity Golf senior year.
Founder and President of Letters to the World Club(Humanitarian club where we write letters to address global conflicts with our opinions)
and a few more smaller things, but those are my main ones.</p>

<p>What are my shots? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>The extracurriculars will probably put you over the top. Try applying for the UCLA Alumni scholarship, I think you have a good shot at that.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot. phew. I m so glad my low GPA didn’t reall affect me as much. THanks…</p>

<p>Yeah, your ECs are impressive, but…GPA is so much more important, and yours is well below the average (4.38 weighted and 3.87 unweighted). You are borderline. Write a really good essay.</p>

5

<p>I agree with ucla_ftw.</p>

<p>You’re borderline with a more likely chance of rejection than acceptance. Your GPA is quite low.</p>

6

<p>Some of these responses are overly optimistic. Your chances aren’t good, unfortunately.</p>

<p>From UC Statifinder…
2009: >2100 SAT + 3.6-3.8 UW GPA –> 35% admit
2008: >2100 SAT + 3.6-3.8 UW GPA –> 45% admit</p>

<p>Since you’re on the bottom edge, the % might be closer to 20%. If you write good essays you can improve your chances. It might help to emphasize how much community service you’ve done.</p>

<p>Has anyone taken Math 31B? How difficult is it? Namely with Watson or Rothschild. I looked on BruinWalk, but would like some more input from here.</p>
