<p>Yes, but what ccuser is saying is that UCLA, or any UC in general, is not MIT. Yes, MIT will let bad scores slide, but here’s what any college would define as amazing extracurriculars (for an engineer, at least): USAMO, Siemens Semi or Finalist, Intel STS Semi or Finalist, USAPHO, USACO, USABO. And, yes, UCLA would let the test scores or GPA slide if an applicant had one of these too, but unlike MIT, UCs filter by numbers first, meaning that whatever awesome accomplishments you’ve done don’t even play if your SAT/ACT and GPA aren’t at a certain mark.</p>
<p>To answer the OP: if this is your complete resume, then it lacks ECs to compensate and your chances are bleak at best. I would say your application is in serious danger of being automatically rejected because of test scores – I mean, one bad SAT score wouldn’t completely sink you, but 3… would. But still, you’ve already got UCSD which is a top institution. You’ve done all you could, accomplished a lot already, so just relax and see what happens. :)</p>
<p>@myboby: Yup,that’s the one.</p>
