<p>Your stats seem good! You have a far better variety of classes than me hahaha, just make sure to raise the ACT a little bit more and you will be on the safe zone :stuck_out_tongue:
Now my question is towards your EC. From what I see, you do a lot of ECs, but apart from the Planet Earth Club President, there is no leaderships shown. So perhaps this year you might want to work on getting on the NHS president, or Lacrosse capt. Also, I dont think UCLA will care about what u did in 5th grade… It only tells u to show things done since your freshman year.</p>

<p>haha it wasn’t something I did in 5th grade, it was an event for 5th graders that I created as a freshman. I am a DECA officer and a hopeful lacrosse captain…</p>

<p>“Co-Founder of the 5th grade Track and Field Spirit Cup”</p>

<p>Lol I was like. Man, how do yo u remember 5th grade stuff? hahaha
Anyways, you should word it differently :stuck_out_tongue:
Thats good. Just keep it up :slight_smile: I hope to see you in the biz dept next year ^^</p>

<p>Rather than bettering your ACT/SAT, I’d rather you increase your GPA. It’s already pretty good, but to guarantee admission, I’d say you’d need to increase a little more. Good Luck! You seem like a strong applicant! =)</p>
