<p>Almost guaranteed in. I’d be really surprised if you didn’t make it.</p>

<p>IF you don’t get in, appeal. It’s probably a mistake if they reject you.</p>

<p>Really? I’m afraid that my low CR score and low(er than average) GPA might pull my application down a bit.</p>

<p>Actually, your GPA is great for UCLA. And the fact that you’re a CA applicant is an added bonus…you seem to really have all the goods! I’d say a really high chance, and you have good essays too! And that CR won’t hurt you considering the amount of awards and good ECs you have.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Why do you think your GPA is lower than average?? 3.93 UW is definitely above average and 4.18 UC GPA is above average.</p>
