<p>It would be nice if someone could give you a formula: this GPA, this many AP classes, this SAT. Unfortunately UCLA has moved to holistic admissions so there is no cut-and-dry formula. You can look at the admissions website since they give an admitted student profile. You can also look at their Common Data Set, and on the UCLA website you can also find more info if you search for “Institutional Research”. But in the end nobody can tell you how many AP classes he should have, because there is no fixed number that does the trick.</p>
