<p>I think it’s actually easier to get in OOS if you go the right school. My friend goes to UCLA, and he had a 4.1 gpa (valedictorian of his class had a 4.7-low class, usually it’s around 5.0) and his SAT was something like 1820. He got accepted for Biochem. He isn’t rich, he isn’t a urm, or a recruited athlete. I can assume he got accepted because we live in a geographically diverse area for California, we go to a pretty good high school, and he was an OOS student.</p>
