<p>how hard is it for someone out of state (texas) to get into ucla? and how is the financial aid for out of state students?</p>
<p>Well it’s not easy. Here’s the data from 2009:</p>
<p>[Profile</a> of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2009 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof09.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof09.htm)</p>
<p>Of the total enrolled freshmen class of 4,472 only 336 were from out of state.</p>
<p>i want to make sur i get into ucla
okay pepes my GPA is a 3.5 im a sophomore i have no ap classes yet but i will have two next year i did 5 hours of community service and was rewarded by the national health department i was in the junior cadet class i love reading political science books and love tennis do i have a chance from now oh yeah i was ranked 176 out of 1376 freshman’s also African American</p>
<p>Jadagirl,
Im not sure how the others all stacked up, but I’d say you have a shot with the ranking and national award but im not sure…You def need to be in adv. classes.</p>
<p>I got accepted this year and did horrible on my standarized test…I had a 25 on my ACT n an 1580 on my SAT…but I had amazing essays…here’s my stats
GPA(5.0 weighted): 5.10
GPA(4.0 unweighted) 4.0
Ranking: 6/127
Activites: Student Council President, Junior and Senior Class President, National Honor Society Vice-President, Spanish Club, UIL-Editorial Writing, Journalism(reporter/advice columnist), Varsity Tennis all 4 years, JV and Varsity Cheerleading, Student Government(for a community college), DECA(national alternate in 11th and state competitor in 12th, current officer), PALS, and Church youth group.</p>
<p>Academics: Academic sweater recipient, honor classes: english, history, spanish, science, math(9th and 10th); College classes(dual credit): english, history, and math(11th), english and government in 12th(my math basics are already fulfilled)</p>
<p>and 2016…the financial aid is based off of how high an income your parents get…lik my efc is 19061 and im getting nothing really…but i got a 1400 dollar scholarship for turning it in before the deadline…</p>
<p>your 5.1 GPA must have made up for your sat</p>
<p>Probably…i used my additional comment box to talk about how we arent taught to be prepared for the sat or act…we are taught for our state tests which cover a different curriculum and i get commended on all of them every year (which means i only can miss up to 4 out of 60ish)…so that probably helped too…and i had really strong essays, am an all a student while taking college and honor courses and the whole president stuff helps too.</p>
<p>If you need financial aid - don’t even bother. Go somewhere else.</p>
