<p>There’s more to getting in than scores. I got into UCLA and my SAT’s were 1900 and my best ACT was a 30 OH! And all of my SAT II’s were in the 550-650 range. I got all 3’s on my AP tests and I only took 5 my entire time in high school. My weighted gpa was somewhere around 3.8ish, I had three C’s on my transcript from freshman year, and my second semester junior year I got straight B’s (then again I was hospitalized twice but not for long periods of time).</p>
<p>I think you have a shot, just make sure you submit some killer essays. I’m pretty sure that’s what saved me. That and leadership in clubs and marching band, work at place teens usually don’t work at, and volunteering my senior year. Don’t get discouraged. As far as Stanford and G-town, you may want to bump up those scores but I think you have a good shot at UCLA and the other ones. Best of luck!</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot just keep up with your goals and you should be fine… don’t let flopsy’s stat ranking scare you too much, just improve your scores and you should be fine… I remember flopsy gave me a reach for SD and match for merced but that motivated me to get better scores and I got into LA and Berk but not SD tho… essays and ECs seem to help a lot of the new way of them doing applications…</p>
<p><<hola mi=“” amigos=“”>>
…can a unique family characteristic (triplets, quadruplets, etc.) be used as somewhat of a hook…also, can a foreign birth and dual citizenship help me at all?</hola></p>
<p>is my goal for the sat good enough to make me competitive??? Again, can a unique family characteristic be used as a hook/ part of an essay topic?</p>
<p>Well Kirby, yeah it’s true that there are factors that are placed into consideration. His SAT puts him at a disadvantage though (look at the admitted freshman profile on <a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu)%5B/url%5D”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu)</a>. By raising his score to 2060 he puts him at a good spot under what I would argue to be the “match” umbrella. I’d say, work on that essay for the writing score! I went from a 9 to an 11 from two tests just by adding in a LOT of information and tying things together very neatly. I think it’s the easiest way to get points in a short amount of time. And, well, I made up fact/stories too (which they don’t care about) in order to support whatever my thesis was.</p>
<p>Unless they changed the way they weigh things, they only weigh like 8 semesters of honors/AP. Your total weighted GPA would be all honors/AP classes. At least thats how I remember it at my school. It’s been a while though :(.</p>
<p>^ I got 4.29, btw, what honors classes were those? Some aren’t counted as “honors”, but still, unless 2 or more weren’t counted, it won’t change your GPA.</p>
<p>10: (both semesters) 4.16667 (5 standard + AP Euro)
11: AP Stat, Spanish 4 Honors, Trig Honors, Honors Anatomy, reg. Eng 11 & US History
1st semester: All A’s
2nd semester: B in Anatomy
…how’d you get 4.29??</p>
