@ProfessorPlum168 @gkalman The OP can indeed apply again the next cycle as a freshman. The reason why @Gumbymom and I were advising against it is that given the stats provided by the OP it is highly unlikely the student will get into UCLA specifically by graduating early. Mainly because the student has limited the A-G courses applicable to the transcript and GPA as only sophomore year will be on there since the OP is a junior. That coupled with a pretty average SAT and no standout extra curriculars that would warrant early “admission” is why I advised on waiting to complete junior year. With full GPA and a senior year schedule for more rigor, the OP stands a much higher chance of getting in. Senior year schedule is considered very important in the UC app. But there is nothing stopping the OP from trying again as long as the applicant has not taken any CC courses after graduating.
