<p>Hey so I'm a Junior in CA, wondering about what my shot is at UCLA. here's the profile</p>

<p>ACT Composite: 33 </p>

<p>SAT IIs: Span: 770 Lit: 710 </p>

<p>AP's: Span- 5 Eng- 4 US History- 3</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.8 (with hardest courses)</p>

<p>ECs listed on app: football, track, was in 2 clubs, and work</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: did finances that were really receipts at a family friend's company and also had a job too</p>

<p>Essays (subject and responses): already started so they should be very good- on two hardships that have come down on me the last 2 years, and my dealing w/ them. i think UCLA puts a lot on the essay so maybe this helps ease the pain of the gpa? </p>

<p>Teacher Recs: better than great</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: great</p>

<p>School Type: Private, does not rank </p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>

<p>Gender:M</p>

<p>Also: Took 2 summer courses at a local comm. college- pysch and creative writing, both got A's, and added them into the GPA already. and i also got 4 academic awards (not sure if it means much, but what the hell)</p>

<p>thanks alot</p>

<p>Wow, it never ends.</p>

<p>They multiply faster than viruses, I swear.</p>

<p>OP, it would help to know what major. Might want to take another SAT II though; I don't think a 770 in Spanish looks that good if you're Hispanic.</p>

<p>Slight Reach imo</p>

4

<p>major= undecided</p>

5

<p>Slight reach sounds about right.</p>

<p>Around 10 people in my school got into UCLA with pathetic SAT scores (less than 1600/2400 on the Reasoning test), very little ECs, and pretty weak essays so you have a relatively good shot.</p>

7

<p>you call anything less than a 2400 "pathetic"???</p>

8

<p>He means less than 1600 out of 2400.</p>

<p>Right :rolleyes:</p>

<p>sleepwalker: i seriously doubt that :)</p>

<p>A bunch of perhaps overqualified folks got rejected this year. I mean 4.5+ GPA 2200+ SATs, top 10% in class...etc. So you can never predict admissions...sucks doesn't it?</p>

12

<p>The same can be said of any year. I remember when I graduated (2004), my year had many top 40 (top 5% of my class) students who got rejected from UCLA.</p>

13

<p>you need to be way up in the ranks to get in with low scores like top 10 out of 400 or so... from i heard if you apply undecided the admission counselor don't like that much which makes you seem like you don't even know much about yourself, but that might just be a rumor tho...
btw isn't it kinda early to start chancing again? the decisions for this year barely came out...</p>

14

<p>That's a dumb ass-rumor.</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach</p>

<p>Grapesoda is right: I meant 1600 on the new SAT. I'm dead serious about the kids in our school that got admitted. I got the highest SAT score of the school with a pathetic 1960! The kids that got in had pretty decent GPA though (in the top 20 out of a class of around 900) so that might be it. I got in too and my essays had like 10 grammar errors. GSW Fan: you are far better qualified than anyone in our school.</p>

17

<p>By the way, you don't need letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>


My god... :rolleyes:</p>

19

<p>I know. Everyone at our is insanely stupid. It's going to be hell next year competing with people who actually know what they are doing.</p>

<p>Do you know what you're school's API score is?</p>
