<p>GO TO CHURCH EVERY WEEK, PLAY BASS GUITAR AT WORSHIP SERVICE. (MY COUNSELLOR SAID THAT MIGHT HELP. REALLY?)</p>

<p>A FRIENDS OF MINE TOLD ME THAT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT HAVE LESS CHANCE THAN U.S RESIDENT IF THEY ARE IN SAME CONDITION (GPA...)
IS THAT TRUE?</p>

<p>THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE IN ADVANCE.</p>

<p>I'd give it a 6 on a scale of 1-10.</p>

3

<p>i'd give you the same..a 6 out of 10...you should work hard on your essays.</p>

<p>I agree with all of above, although I am not too sure about the international applicant thing. But my thoughts are: California Tax payers/residents will be getting the first priority of entering their state's public institution.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the major preparation requirements for ucla require that you have two semesters of calc and a statistics course i believe, which you may be taking this semester. Also a semester of foreign language. If you manage to get A's in these three classes (calculus II, statistics, and foreign language) then your average major requirement GPA would be a little under a 3.5. With that said, i think you have a 50/50 chance at getting in if you do so. As ucla, as with other schools, puts heavy weight on the major requirement gpa. </p>

<p>It seems like you have a lot of your gen ed out of the way, thats always a good thing.</p>

<p>highschoolda, aubstopper-- 6/10? wow! not bad! Thanks! I gotta study harder to make my chance greater. </p>

<p>Yams- I think your thought makes sense.</p>

<p>sparkly123-- I'll take calculus II in spring 2007. It's only because I don't think I can get an A in that class. (same reason that I'm not taking Biological science this semester)
I'm taking Micro Econ and Econ Statistics now. (although statistics is not required course for UCLA econ major)</p>

<p>and one more question, do you guys think essays really matter?</p>

<p>they do especially when u don't have the greatest gpa in the world.</p>
