What are my chances at UCLA?

Hello everyone! :slight_smile:
I am currently a junior in high school and here are my stats for freshman-junior year 1st sem.:
Freshman: 4.0 GPA
Sophomore: 4.3 (1st semester), 4.1 (2nd semester)
Junior: 4.6
I’ve taken all honors/AP/IB classes that have been possible for my grade.

Extracurriculars:
Freshman orientation decoration leader (30+ hours)
Piano- CM and Guild – 11 years
CSF (Member 3 years, Tutoring Chair: 1 year)
NHS - 3 years
Swim - 2 years
Volunteer summer camp – 200+ hours
RSVP leader group
Chinese school – 10 years
Started tutoring business
Library volunteer

Additionally I am a California resident!
My question is, are my extracurriculars strong enough and what SAT/ACT score would I have to get to be considered to be accepted to UCLA?

Here is a link for the Freshman Profile 2014, so you know what Stats to aim for:

Excellent GPA but weak extracurriculars. No leadership positions in school activities and you do not show any long term commitment or passion associated with your list of extracurriculars.

@BruinTrue‌ Hello :smile: Sorry, it might have been overlooked, but I am Tutoring Chair in CSF (an officer position), I was the Freshman Orientation Decoration Leader, and I was apart of the RSVP Leader Group, which are all leadership positions in school activities. Maybe it is miscommunication? Did you mean leadership positions like president and vice president? Also, I am in piano for my now-11th year, which I believe shows a lot of long term commitment. Additionally, all the clubs I listed I am in for 3 years, which I must say is a large majority of my high school years. Not trying to be defensive or anything, just trying to clear things up :smile:

Sounds like you have a preconceived notion about whether you’ll get in, but are looking for confirmation.

If that’s the case, seems like you’ll have better luck elsewhere.

What I mean by “leadership positions in school activities” is position(s) in ASB or student government which represents schoolwide leadership. Sure, 11 years in piano is a long term commitment but lots of folks play an instrument…but what was the measure of success, or how did activity demonstrate personal excellence, or why was the 11-year commitment important to you? Hopefully you were able to weave this into your personal statement or it won’t mean much to the admissions dept.

@kks1236‌ Hello! I think you misinterpreted my post. I don’t have any preconceived notions on getting in. It’s simply one of my dream schools and I wan’t to improve my resume as much as I can before I apply this fall.

@BruinTrue‌ Okay, got you :slight_smile: As for the piano topic, I don’t simply know how to play. I’m not sure how to explain it, but there national auditions and exams I take each year. I am currently on the national roll for the Piano Guild and a recipient of the Certificate of Merit for all the piano levels I have taken. I apologize in advance if this sounds confusing in any way and I don’t want to come off as if I’m bragging. But thank you so much for your insight and I will definitely take into consideration on joining more school-wide related activities!
