<p>I believe UCLA practice 'holistic review ’ in which they take EVERYTHING into consideration. Your test scores and GPA should balance each other out, especially with stellar essays and EC’s. It’s funny how opposite we are! I have a 3.85 UW and a 4.33 W, but a 1590 SAT and 24 ACT. I applied to UCLA as well and holding on to a lot of faith and hope! Good luck to both of us! lol :)</p>

<p>How do you do so well in SATs? My GPA is sub par; I’ll be taking the June SAT </p>

<p>UCSD will be giving congratulatory calls to some accepted URMs from March 4th-10th. The rest of the Admission decisions are to be released for UCSD sometime afterwards.</p>

<p>Your GPA is not that low as your SAT subject scores show and the fact that you are from a competitive school. I think you will be able to get in.</p>
