UCLA getting harder and harder to get into? Is it even possible anymore?

<p>Hey guys, does the statewide path apply for out-of-state applicants?</p>

<p>EDIT: Ah, it’s for California residents.</p>

<p>but apparently the highest is 300, so i guess it’s not that bad…</p>

<p>I STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN CHANCED FOR UCLA :(</p>

<p>do you guys think that getting a likely letter to UCLA would be indicative of an admit to an ivy (not HYP, but brown or dartmouth)?</p>

<p>i am so scared. TOO. what is that acceptance rate?</p>

<p>Falling in the 9% on the statewide path calculator only means you a guaranteed admission into one of the UCs. I believe the way it works is if you don’t get into one of the UCs you applied to you automatically get into the ever-so-scenic UC Merced. Once upon a time it guaranteed you admission into UCD or UCSB but it is not that way this year since there are so many more applicants than spots available.</p>

<p>Last years admit rate was 22.9%

<p>But of course this year they have many more applicants so who knows.</p>

<p>dont tell me your gpa is amazingly high too</p>

<p>@angelmatsu: lol i love how your thread turned into a miscellaneous discussion about the UC system, but the truth is I’m in the same position with you just seeking advice. Nevertheless if my opinion is of any worth, your test scores are a little low but GPA and EC activities look amazing and–don’t quote me on this-- the trend for admissions for many UC schools this year is preferences with high grades over standardized test evaluations, so you’re app looks pretty solid. On the other hand, UCLA has such a large applicant pool that really anything could happen, which makes me especially nervous. Anyways, good luck!</p>

<p>It is, we’re here to chance each other, not ask about random things. I’m willing to help to the best I can, but I’m just saying, you know. And thanks @musicremedy. I’m so nervous :P</p>

<p>Omg i totally forgot to put link crew and the hospital thing on my app. I put them on cappex but idk if the school even cares about that.</p>

<p>I probably just screwed myself over :(</p>

<p>“Your” thread is part a public forum. People ask questions and people answer them, more often than not the thread goes off on a tangent. Get over it.</p>

<p>most applicants in the nation, so go figure</p>

<p>Is the UC index thing how they review your application (excluding recommendations, essays, etc.)? If so, is 271 competitive for UCLA and Berkeley (OOS)?</p>

<p>What percent of people ge supplementals and how many get in</p>

<p>I don’t think anyone will be able to classify UC indices as competitive for OOS or not. However, if some kind soul is able to do so, please classify my 278 :)</p>

<p>@kidfromthebeach – regarding a UCLA likely as being indicative of an ivy admittance:
I am a Regents Scholar (and received regents scholarships to all the UCs I applied to besides Cal) and am an Alumni scholar but did not get into any ivies. So no not really. Though someone I know that received the UCLA regents scholarship went to Harvard so it does happen</p>

<p>ahh why can’t it be friday?! That way if im rejected, eh watever. I’m not taking UCSD’s insane offer. I’ll go to UCR and finish off what I need to then move on. If i get in, yay, UCLA bound…</p>

<p>Ugh, but I won’t get my hopes up :(</p>

<p>Anything is possible if you want it hard enough. My sister applied this year with over 75,000 people in the application pool. Before yesterday, she’d all but lost her hope of ever getting into UCLA thanks to college confidential and its uber-qualified applicants. Against all odds, however, she was accepted.
Her SAT score was 1830 and her GPA was a 3.95 which is meager in comparison to the other applicants here. She doesn’t play a sport and didn’t create the cure for cancer, she isn’t a music prodigy and she isn’t even from California. She is, however, a very passionate person who does a lot of volunteering and was able to convey herself well through her essays.</p>

<p>That’s all there is to it. Do what you love, try your best academically, write some d*** good essays, and apply. </p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>
