What are my chances of getting into UCLA?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Title says it all. Also keep in mind I’m an in-state student. Part of my confusion is around how everything is weighed. Does UCLA cap the GPA to 8 honors semesters? Do UC’s count pluses and minuses in unweighted GPA? So many questions!

Here are my stats:

Sophomore year: Took one honors course and one AP

First semester - 6 A’s, 1 B
Second semester - 7 A’s

Junior year: Took four AP’s and two honors courses

First semester - 3 A’s, 4 B’s
Second semester = 6 A’s, 1 B
SAT: 2270

----------- School says my unweighted is about 3.75 and weighted is about 4.35. Unsure what UC’s will say or what I should think.

Activities: (captain) Policy Debate, President of Astronomy club, President of FBLA, Research club, Medical club.

-Won 2nd place in Varsity Policy debate as a sophomore at Santa Clara University
-Double octafinalist at UC Berkeley’s debate tournament

Sports: Tae-kwon-do for about 6 years (2nd degree black belt, won some random medal), did 2 years of tennis (Didn’t really like).

Other: Led team from school to Bio-engineering competition at UC Berkeley. Created first 3D virtual campus tour for my middle school, now featured on their home page. Arrow of Light (scouts lol). Won most imaginative concept award at a state robotics tournament. “Learned how to juggle 4 balls in 3 days. Learned how to juggle 6 AP’s/honors in one semester.” <- might actually put this on app lol

So yeah. Not saying I’m hinging all my bets on UCLA, but I sure hope to get into this school in particular. I used Rogerhub’s calculator for my chances and my GPA turned out to 4.12 even though I had 16 semesters of honors and AP courses. As a result, I believe the result is not entirely accurate because it ignores the fact that I took 6 other advanced courses than what it accounts for.

Tried challenging myself junior year- probably going to flag first semester as a “transition phase” for a drastic improvement on my application. Need to clear up why i got 4 B’s. lol. they were B+'s too :(.

Any help/chancing would be GREAT and you would be a REALLY AWESOME person for helping me out. Right now, GPA and college stuff is especially stressing me out- I used to be seriously laid back about it but it’s killing a ton of my time.

pls help. thanks again.

I think you have a pretty good shot at admission. :slight_smile: Good luck!

Awesome, thanks!

Using the Roger Hub UC GPA calculator, I get UC GPA of 4.07. (22 A’s and 6 B’s with 8 honors points for 4/5 AP classes). UCLA will also use the uncapped UC GPA which will be higher since they will take into account additional AP/Honors classes.
Pluses and minuses are not used,.

UCLA looks like a High Match depending upon how your essays and EC’s are received.

Good Luck.

Whoops- think I must have calculated wrong. Thanks for double checking me and giving your input!

almost a 100% chance to get in to UCLA
solid GPA, SAT, ECs for all the UCs

Woah that sure sounds nice- thanks for your help too!!

@persia5 I am either going to go undeclared or for Mechanical Engineering. MIGHT do computer science.

10

I’m pretty sure you have a higher chance at engineering than undeclared, but that’s tough. Any SAT II scores?

11

740 BioE, 800 Math II, 800 Physics

12

Great! You are higher than average! It depends on your competition and essays! good luck

13

With 22 A’s, 6 B’s, and 16 weighted points, you should have a 4.35 unweighted GPA. With your test scores, you’d be a match for UCLA Engineering (and a lock for any non-Engineering major) and likely will get into UCSD on down as well. Your SAT Subject scores will definitely help too.

14

perhaps you mean a 4.35 weighted GPA? Thanks though!

15

@goldenbear2020 so is it safe to assume my UCLA UC weighted GPA is not capped? if it is capped, apparently i am only a UC W 4.07 :frowning:

16

Yes, I meant your weighted GPA for UCLA will be uncapped at 4.35.

17

Solid grades, tests, and ECs. I would say 80% chance of acceptance.
