Chance/Match a Rising Senior from Wisconsin who needs help building a college list [T20s, <$60k, intended business/finance major, 3.9 UW]

UCLA is one of those schools that is a reach school for everyone; you’ll want to move this one to your reach category. The UCs also have a separate application, which might feel like a lot of effort if you are applying only to one UC. To be competitive for UCLA, you’ll need to spend significant time on the UC PIQs and activities list. Finally, COA for the UCs is now over $80k/year.
