Hey, I was in the same boat as you.
I got a 1400 on my SAT’s, not even top 20 of my class, and overall felt inadequate especially after meeting all the talented people in the overnight program… but I decided to SIR anyways. (Also, I am a stem major, Biology to be exact – which is very competitive & difficult)

Anyways, I was extremely hesitant based on the competition but I figured the experiences I will make it worth it.
No, I’m not accepting defeat so easily. Trust me, UCLA has so many resources to help you succeed. From peer mentors to past test you can borrow and take, you will find a way to cope with your studies. It’ll probably be hard, but at least you’ll have fun.

Wherever you go, you’ll suffer, so might as well have fun while doing so?

(PM me for more specifics; I went to an overnight weekend and fell in love, when I was ready to settle to a lower, albeit still good, school!)
