Hollistic Acceptance?

Posting for my child, who was accepted:

GPA 4.2 uweighted, 3.96 unweighted, 32 ACT (equiv to 715 avg SAT), SAT II math advanced 760, chem not sure but in low 700s I think. Some APs and honors courses though not all the very hardest ones. President of a low profile club, sports team all four years though no star, decent amount of charity work, and worked very hard - many iterations - on essays.

Everyone is posting basic stats but keep in mind the holistic process. It may explain some of the seeming inconsistencies in who was accepted and who was not. And it may convince you that there's now more subjectivity in the decision. Perhaps an essay that hits home with the right admissions officer can make a difference.

Just some guesses!

Also, was accepted into the honors program. I would be curious what percent of entering freshman, all great students, got this offer. Also, would love to hear whether it's worth it from UCLA students who tried it.

A dad

Everyone on the chances thread said I was going to get easily rejected because my SAT scores were so low and they said I had a terrible essay topic. In their faces.

Don't remember other stats right now, and don't want to estimate!

Applied as an international student, did the A level system. Got a provisional admission contract ... anyone else's admission provisional(conditional)?
