<p>I won't be asking for any financial aid, which i'm hoping will help me seem more appealing (sadly) to UCLA by paying full out of state tuition. I'm planning on majoring in business or entrepreneurial studies, and I'll hopefully get my sat and act scores up! </p>

<p>Please be honest I won't cry if you crush my hopes. Let me know if there's anything I can do to stand out to admissions. I'm thinking about applying early decision if i decide not to at NYU and i'm a strong writer so my essay should be above average. </p>

<p>I’m sorry but even with your rigor you should set your expectations a bit lower. I’m not really familiar with your GPA system but from what it sounds like when you get rescaled at these schools to the regular GPA scale you’ll have something around a 3.0 maybe higher or lower depending on B+ B- etc. Even ED NYU is a reach for you and UCLA is very hard to get into making it a high reach for you. I’m being brutally honest because you should consider schools that are on your immediate level so you have a back up plan. Consider schools like Maryland.</p>

<p>sorry didn’t see A’s in English courses probably like a 3.2-3.3 at best. </p>
