<p>More than one person with SAT 2300. I saw it repeatedly on CC. 4.0 uw or 4.0 UCGPA because it means different thing. SAT is heavily discounted at UCLA.</p>
<p>columbia_student, there is a "rumor" that many students do not get into both UCLA and UCB, it is either one or the other. At my school I only know a couple of people that got into both, but many that got into UCLA but not CAL or other way around.</p>
<p>For the UCs, I heard that GPA is the most important factor, then SAT I scores, then Essay, then SAT II scores, and like everything else is not that important.
I was referring to a 4.0 UCGPA so it's already been weighted =(</p>
<p>i actually think its quite logical to weigh GPA more than SATs... it is harder to maintain a high GPA throughout highschool than get a high SAT, afterall you might get lucky with your guesses on the SAT :D</p>

<p>LIES!!! it's just a myth.........we should the Mythbusters to bust this one. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>do you have a 2300 or is that "hypothetical" 2? lol jk</p>
<p>rofl i can't believe u posted this...ur only a junior</p>
<p>You do have a case if you had a 2300 and improving GPA. However, with the budget cuts in effect when this case should happen, the appeals will be very difficult to go your way. You will need more supportive circumstances to compete with other appeals.</p>
<p>UCLA had admitted more students than they can fund, so I think they should eliminate appeals or be more selective in the initial admission process.</p>

Standford has free tuition for families that earn less than 100k per year, is that true?

Under 100K: Tuition
Under 60K: Tuition + Room & Board</p>
<p>Oh btw, when you apply to UCLA, and you chose your major, does that affect your admission chances? Like, maybe everyone wants to apply as a major in the medical field, or maybe politics, does that mean they will accept less people from those majors?
It's kinda of weird, because I thought you choose majors for grad school and undergrad school is just like preparing you for grad or something.
And I seriously do not know what I want to be yet, does choosing a major mean that I have to stick with it?</p>
<p>Major doesn't affect your admission chances. The school does. All life science/phys. sci majors + poli sci are in the College of Letters & Sciences, so the admission chances of all CL&S majors are the same. And no, you don't have to stick to it. Just apply undeclared and keep an open mind. People switch their majors like an average of 2 and a half times or something.</p>
<p>So the admission rate for UCLA is an average of all of their colleges?
Then can't people just apply for a easier college and switch majors once they get in?</p>
