<p>I am OOS and an applicant. UCLA is my top choice but I realize that there is MUCH more competition being from oos. If you were accepted in previous years from a high school oos, what were your scores/extracurriculars/etc. ? Thank you!</p>
<p>there are existing threads with this same topic elsewhere. make sure you search to get a good number of existing statistics.</p>
<p>my stats (OOS):
One of the top 50 high schools in the US (newsweek)
UC GPA: ~3.92 UW / 4.6 W
SAT: 2170
SATII: Math-800, Physics-740</p>
<p>No amazing extracurriculars, decent college essays.</p>
<p>My stats:
3.94 UW / 4.6 W
SAT: 2080
II: 740, 660</p>
<p>EC: clubs, sports, the usual</p>
<p>Thanks, MadeInChina! I found some other threads, so thanks for letting me know. I’m actually from the DC area, too (FCPS). I hate to be score-obsessed, but what do you think about a
1960 SAT; 730 USHistory SAT II; 660 Spanish SAT II; 28 ACT; 2 AP 5’s (two tests taken) and GPA unweighted (just soph. and junior classes)=3.93. I’m Spanish Honor Society VP if they take that into any consideration. </p>
<p>If I’m putting you on the spot by asking you this, let me know!</p>
<p>thank you, hewhothrows!</p>
<p>ZAE - fairfax? no way hahaha. what school do you go to?</p>
<p>are you currently a junior or a senior? your SAT could be better and the same goes with your SAT IIs. your GPA is great and VP in a honor society will be great if you’ve displayed leadership.</p>
<p>i’d definitely recommend taking the SAT again if you’re a junior and getting in the 2000+ range.</p>
<p>edit –</p>
<p>and why is UCLA your top choice (just curious)? what about UVA and others?</p>
<p>psh! i WISH i was a junior so i could take tests over. i just wish that UCLA superscored because superscored i have a 2020. nope, i’m a senior. and i go to madison. i realize my scores are bad, but how bad are they? haha sorry to be annoying but i just want to know.</p>
<p>i did a summer program at UCLA (it wasn’t run by UCLA) and i loved the campus/atmosphere. i love california and i want to major in spanish so i think it would be a good place to do it. yeah, i applied to uva, w&m, duke, gw and umiami but i’m definitely not depending on either of the first three because everyone from my school is applying.</p>
<p>i don’t know what the average test scores are for entering (OOS) UC freshmen, but you’re test scores aren’t terrible. i’d say they’re around average? anyone have any real statistics?</p>
<p>MadeInChina, RM, or Wootton?</p>
<p>My stats:
SAT: 2100 (750 Math, 720 Writing, 630 Critical Reading)
IIs: 800 Math II, 800 Chem, 690 Biology M
UC GPA: 4.18
EC: Pretty much ran the Quizbowl club and organized a trip to the Harvard-MIT mathematics tournament. Also deeply involved (2+ hours per week, mostly more) in 5 clubs, plus Hebrew School 3 hours a week, volunteered for younger kids hebrew school 3 hours a week, and tutored calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations on a college campus as volunteer 4 hours a week.
AWARDS: Nothing major, just a few AIME invitations and local math team stuff.</p>
<p>Oh, and APs: I had 5 at time of application with 3 5’s (Calculus BC, Statistics, Physics), a 4 (US History) and 1 3 (English Language), and was enrolled in 4 more. I also had 4 completed college classes with 3 A’s (Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Logical and Critical Thinking) and 1 B (Multi-variable Calculus) with 2 more classes in progress.</p>
<p>
Wootton…pretty creepy hahahahah. are you mcps too??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No way. what year did you go? I went 2005/2006 with the math team from Wootton…our team name was banana pancakes haha. What school are you from?</p>
<p>I was in 2007 & 2008, with Ward Melville High School, first year was boring old “Ward Melville A”, next year “Power Proof Girls” though only 1 person on the team was female. Our B team was called “Induction Junction, what’s your function”.</p>
<p>go to ucstatfinder and you can slice and dice admissions by campus. (Hint: you’ll need to solve for OOS by taking the total and backing out Calif residents.) Save yourself some time: the short answer is that the OOS kids are numerically similar to those instate.</p>

<p>Haha yes, I am. I’m a senior at Wootton right now. Thought I’d creep you out a bit =P</p>
<p>poisondart, are a lot of people from mont. co./your school applying to UCLA?</p>
<p>In past years at most 4 from my school. I think we got a lot more this year. I’m not sure about the county though</p>
<p>ahh. i think that will make it even more competitive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OH WOW. i’m rooting for you to come to UCLA then. one of the best choices you’ll ever make haha.</p>
<p>you know any seniors who came to UCLA from last year? drake? leslie?</p>
