<p>I will have taken 7 out of a possible 21 weighted classes at my high school and one college course by the time I graduate from high school. My UW GPA is 3.9 and W GPA is 4.4. Is that considered "rigorous" in the context of my school to UCLA?</p>
<p>It’s rigorous only if there was a scheduling/bureaucratic barrier that prevented you from taking some of those 14 other weighted courses instead of unweighted ones.</p>
<p>If you took several unweighted courses when weighted courses were freely available for you to choose, that would reflect negatively on your application.</p>
<p>Well, I have to take PE all four years because of requirements (2 years) and sports. I had the opportunity to take 2 additional APs but I don’t know what was going through my head at the time.</p>
<p>Well my school offered APs mostly in the morning so I took a total of 8 out of 18~20 possible. Four each year junior and senior and UCLA took that as vigorous enough to accept me. I guess it also depends on what APs you take. AP Calc, Science, English, core subjects are probably weighted on the more rigorous side than more elective APs like psychology which is only 1 semester credit and not 2. I definitely think my AP Spanish helped since the recommended is 3yrs a 4th looks like you put more effort into actually learning thr language and just not filling a requirement.</p>
<p>I took 5 APS (Calc AB, BC, English Lit, English Lang, and Psychology which is full year at my school) and 1 UC approved honors class, and they accepted me.
If your SAT, Extra Curriculars, and Essays are good, I think you’ll be fine (:</p>

An easy way to find out is make an appt with one of the college counselors at your HS. They know what previous students accepted to UCLA from your school have taken.</p>
