<p>… make what a trend, exactly?</p>
<p>The OP’s GPA is decent, but their ACT and SAT II scores are what bring them down (as others have said). I’m sorry, but it’s unlikely that they’ll make it in.</p>
<p>Fintork, there are people who get a great GPA and a great SAT/ACT score and still don’t get into UCLA. It’s not logical to make the argument that a decent GPA will make up for a not-so-great ACT score here since so many applicants have the stats. One of the only ways I can see the OP getting in is if they have amazing extracurriculars & essays. However, it’s still evident that HSSEAS places an applicant’s scores as a priority.</p>
