UCLA or UF? Can I get in?

Applying to College

<p>Hello! I am currently a junior in my second semester of high school. I have gotten scattered replies by my fellow students and teachers based on where they think I could get into. I was wondering, should I be confident about getting into University of Florida? Also, would getting into my dream school, UCLA, be too much wishful thinking? I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on this as just food for thought for me!!</p>

<p>Any ideas on where I could get in? Not just UCLA and UF, but anywhere noteworthy. Thanks, all comments, opinions, and/or tips appreciated!!</p>

<p>Please read point 1 of <a href=“Before you ask which colleges to apply to, please consider - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1621234-before-you-ask-which-colleges-to-apply-to-please-consider.html&lt;/a&gt; . UCLA’s [cost</a> of attendance](<a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm]cost”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm) is $52,000 to $55,000 for out-of-state students, and financial aid will not cover the $23,000 out-of-state additional tuition that is included.</p>

<p>For admissions only you can check the stats at [UCLA’s</a> 2013 frosh class profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof13.htm]UCLA’s”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof13.htm). However, be aware that UCLA has different levels of selectivity for different divisions and sometimes majors (the School of Nursing is a separate division from the College of Letters and Science and other divisions).</p>
