Hey everyone! I just applied to UCLA to read aerospace engineering. I’m really anxious about this as UCLA is one of my dream universities. It would be helpful if anyone with ample experience/knowledge gave me a rough estimate of my chances.
Nationality : Malaysian
GPA : (Converted from A-Level results 3A*1A) 4.0 (I have no idea what weighted and unweighted GPA is so…)
SAT : 2130
SAT2 : 800 for Maths Level 2, Physics and Chemistry
Awards :
Top in the world (full score) for A level Maths
Quite a few choir awards at international, national and district level competitions
Mighty Minds National Champion (General knowledge competition)
Some random essay writing medals (Trinity, UNSW and Commonwealth essay competitions)
A few debate championships (but mostly district level so not very impressive)
One football(soccer) gold medal at school level (At least I did SOME sports)
ECAs :
A-Level Student Council member
VP of debate club
VP of choir
Committee member of English club
Member of various random clubs
Volunteer at Make-A-Wish malaysia
Actively involved in church activities (mostly worship leading and youth stuff)
Extra things:
My essays are pretty bad (didn’t have much time to write)
Most of my application revolved around Choir (which I love) and Physics/Maths (which I also love)
Thanks for reading! (if you made it this far that is) I really appreciate it.
