Do I have a chance? Not the typical applicant...

<p>I am a homeschooled student from Texas with a 3.5 gpa (unweighted), 1800 SAT score, 4 on both U.S and World History but a 2 on English Language and Composition. I am very active in my community and specify my activities in the additional comments. I am very confident in my essays and had both essay reviewed and revised by my teacher and tutor.com countless times. I wrote about never meeting my father and having a mother in prison and how that has affected me. I know UC universities are accepting more students from out of state from what I read on the UCLA news site.</p>

<p>GPA and test scores are below average. Likely reject.</p>

<p>You can look at their school profile and see that you are about the 30% that get those scores so don’t worry. Your essays sound amazing, I say- likely accept!</p>

<p>Hard to say. Calculate your UC GPA to see how it compares. Yes, UCLA is looking to admit more OOS, but they’re still looking for the same standards as in-staters.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses! I finally submitted my application.</p>

<p>good luck :slight_smile: don’t let the scores get you down and just try!</p>
