<p>I think SD is a pretty much lock, Berkeley pretty good chance, but I don't think I'm getting into UCLA, I was suicidal and on meds but no real life challenges like they like at UCLA...</p>

<p>If you need more info I probably left out alot of EC's and academics feel free to ask</p>

<p>I'd actually say that you have a good chance at UCLA.</p>

3

<p>UCB/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match</p>

5

<p>UCB/UCLA/UCSD:Match</p>

6

<p>UCLA is no tougher than Berkeley. Both are matches.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, but UCLA takes into account "Life Challenges" in its comprehensive review, while Berkeley does not. Also, a few kids from my small private school get into Berkeley every year while last year only one got into UCLA and he lied on his application.</p>

8

<p>Are you kidding me?</p>

<p>I got into UCLA and Berkeley, which I am currently at, without writing about "life challenges" except maybe hinting slightly at my parents' divorce.</p>

<p>(UCLA and Berkeley's admissions are on the same level, although one usually accepts/rejects the other's acceptants, which is quite odd.)</p>

<p>Trust me, UCLA is not THAT difficult to get into. You don't need to have been homeless to get admitted.</p>

<p>(I applied out-of-state as well...I wasn't a California resident and still got admitted.)</p>

<p>Delicatess, if you don't mind do you think you can post some of your stats, I'm just curious on what what kind of out of state students get admitted to UCB because I live in washington and am trying my balls so I could get to UCB. Thanks.</p>

10

<p>Wow delicates thats pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing your stats and year as well (To see how competitive UCLA was at the time.) UCLA doesn't say how much each category (Life Chal / EC / Academics) is weighted overall so who knows we shall see.</p>

11

<p>I'm a sophomore.</p>

<p>My SAT scores: 1420 out of 1600 (old SAT)
SATII: 720 History, 710 Bio, 770 Writing
ACT: 32</p>

<p>(My scores weren't spectacularly high either.)</p>

<p>I took 10 APs with the following scores: 5 in English Lang, 5 in Stats, 4 Calc BC, 4 Calc AB, 4 US Hist, 4 Eng Lit, 3 Chem, 3 Bio, 3 Physics C (I'm obviously not a science major)</p>

<p>4.8 UC GPA (I think; I'm really not sure how they do this); unweighted I had a 4.0; I was ranked 3rd out of a class of 500.</p>

<p>ECs: Key Club Vice President, FBLA Vice President, Honor Choir, Piano for 12 years, Dance for 3 years, Private vocal lessons, Volunteer at a homeless center for 3 years, National Honour Society, Mock Trial, Academic Olympics</p>

<p>Awards:</p>

<p>FBLA State winner in 2 categories
Piano Regional awards
Vocal performance: National Music Teachers' Association Regional National award (won't specify region)
Mock Trial Northern regional state winner (team award) (won't specify which state)
Academic Olympics regional winner (team award)</p>

<p>I didn't put any life challenges down at all but wrote 3 essays. The first was based on my interests, mainly regarding art/music. The second was about my transition from different schools and the third I can't even remember because it was so insignificant.</p>

<p>I'm just saying though, your stats are more impressive than many admits'.</p>

12

<p>Delicatess,</p>

<p>Your stats were so good as to be depressing for the rest of us lucky peons. I swear, some of the people who go to Cal and UCLA are really something else...</p>

13

<p>Thanks UCLAri. I'd say my stats are "okay."</p>

<p>I have met some pretty amazing people at Cal though that could have made it to MIT; in fact I've met those who have rejected MIT to come to Cal. Of course there are many that make you wonder how they lied on their application...</p>

14

<p>Dear Delicatess,</p>

<p>I hate you, you overachieving little smartypants.</p>

<p>Love,
UCLAri</p>

15

<p>UCLAri,</p>

<p>Sorry to incorporate this into this thread, but:
Don't hate the player; hate the game you underachiever.</p>

<p>Love,
Delicatess</p>

16

<p>Hey hey, who said I was an underachiever? I'm just in-between. Like an achiever, or a semi-overachiever.</p>

<p>It's hard to call me an underachiever considering my credentials, but people you are just a special category. ;)</p>

17

<p>how can you rank 3/500 if you have 4.0... probably cuz your last name starts with z or something huh??</p>

18

<p>They weighted our GPAs; Two other people took more AP classes than me and thus had higher GPAs. The 4.0 was unweighted.</p>

19

<p>UCLAri,</p>

<p>Ah, okay sorry, mediocre-one.</p>

<p>However you have gotten around quite a bit doing fun stuff like EAP and UCDC. Kudos on that; I'm jealous.</p>

20

<p>VERY impressive Delicates... your acomplishments let there be little need for challenges in your life, you brought them upon yourself with all the stuff you did.</p>

<p>Btw updated stats:</p>

<p>SAT 2260
UC GPA 4.35 (took honors course in summer.. had to add it)
3rd in class</p>
