<p>You have excellent ECs, but you really need to improve the GPA and SAT scores. By a lot. For any shot at NYU or UCLA, you’ll need to improve your SAT by at the very least, 350-400 points. Your WEIGHTED GPA is currently around a 3.3. At NYU/UCLA, most incoming freshman have around 3.7 GPAs UNWEIGHTED.</p>

<p>darn it, i knew my GPA and SAT would screw me… what would be a good GPA to have while applying and SAT score? (towards the low side, cuz then it could be a reach school)</p>

4

<p>I would say around 3.5-3.6 and around 2050-2150; and I agree with the person above, your ECs are excellent, keep them up.</p>

<p>thanks for all the help</p>

<p>What’s your home state? UCLA accepts 90% In-state students and 10% Out-of-state students, while NYU is 28% In-state students and 72% Out-of-state students (Stats from collegeboard), so that could make a big difference</p>

<p>Oh btw guys one of my best friends (from Washington state) really really wants to study molec bio at UCLA and he has a 3.52 but also has a 2250 and really good EC’s. He doesn’t have a CC profile, so he wants me to do this for him. He wants the percentage chances. Like what? 25%? 30? 35? 15? 50? 5? 65?</p>

<h2>He’s a curiously numerical character so he wantms numbers i think.</h2>
