<p>I am a current High School senior planning to major in music education. I really would like to go to UCLA's music program, but what are my chances of even getting in?</p>
<p>I have a good scholarly achievements. I have a 99.4 GPA (out of a hundred, its the GPA system used in Texas. :( ) 1880 in SAT, ranked 11/616. I have taken 3 AP exams so far, English Lang. Us History and Spanish 4, and passes with 3, 3, and a 5. I have a lot of extracurriculars, such as band and honor societies with good leadership here and there and rigorous classes this year. I'm also a minority (Hispanic) if that makes a difference. My only disadvantage is that I don't live in California anymore, so I'm no longer a resident.</p>
<p>But, I want to get into the music program.
I have been playing the flute (which I understand is HIGHLY competitive :( ) for about 6 years now, but I am definitely not a prodigy. I'm 3 chair in the second band, and although I do have some first division solos, I have never made region. Although, I do participate a lot in the band. I have marched four years, this year we made state. I'm an officer, in the musical, and in winter colorguard. </p>
<p>So, finally, the ultimate question is, will my participation and work make up for my lack of playing? Will it be enough to get into the music education program? I mean, I'm not terrible, but I'm not the best. Is music education more lenient than performance, since the audition repertory is the same?</p>
