<p>It is very difficult to understand UCLA decisions this year. HS seniors with 1700 get in and with 2200 do not. Same for the summer programs. Kids with higher stats do not get selected. It seems that they are not looking for the bests scholars any more. I know it is very painfully now, but you will get over it soon. Best of luck!</p>

<p>They just can’t admit everyone, even though everyone is awesome. Fact of life. :frowning: </p>

<p>You should not feel bad because you did everything you could. It’s UCLA’s loss. Just go to a better school than UCLA for grad school.</p>

<p>It’s critical to know that it’s not just your GPA, but also your extracurricular involvement and you as a whole. Remember that UCLA reviews a person holistically, not just academically. I got accepted into UCLA with a 3.4 unweighted GPA at the time of application, and yes I did get in when others with 4.0 GPA didn’t get in because why? Because I demonstrated that I had more to me than just a GPA.</p>

<p>It’s unfortunate that there are some really booksmart students out there that do not make it, but you’re not the only one. Plus, do not believe that the best scholars don’t get in because over 90% of freshman accepted to UCLA have over a 4.0 GPA. It’s only a minor percent under 4.0 that are accepted, and some are luckier than others or maybe just have a lot to offer in UCLA’s eyes. Don’t be discouraged however, as you can still go to UCLA for grad school and make the best of whatever college you decide to attend to now.</p>
