I will have to choose between Davis and Irvine when the time comes. It will be a really hard decision because I live in sacramento and I have to decide whether I will want to stay close to home or go far off into socal.
@cherise97 hey! Congrats! I applied to the same major! What was your gpa like?
@clof2016, don’t focus on your GPA alone. My older son got into UCLA last year with a 3.65. No APs. His SAT was 2200, many volunteer hours, one internship, three college classes over the summers, and two summer programs to which he earned a scholarship to attend. He only had two ECs but many hours and concrete results in both. He is also a strong writer and his essays were very good. He wrote them in the summer and then had his English teacher give him input and we gave him input. He spent a lot of time on those essays because he had to justify the low GPA.
If your overall resume is good, you have a good chance.
