<p>Has that ever happened to anyone? and by low, i mean 1950.</p>
<p>UC GPA: 4.14
SAT Spanish: 720
SAT US History: 740</p>
<p>EC’s: Eagle Scout, Varsity Volleyball, Video Production, 1000 Community Service Hours.</p>
<p>Man…that 1950 is stressing me out! I thought i would do better</p>
<p>Don’t worry…1000 hours of Community Service…that’s great…</p>
<p>Chill I think you’re in safe ground.</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach</p>
<p>so the only thing i can do to increase my chances is own that essay?</p>
<p>franchise1:</p>
<p>your SAT score is only slightly below average (mid 2100), and remember, 50% of incoming freshmen are below the average! would focus on the essays, because your applicant profile is somewhat “average” and doesn’t necessarily stand out, so perhaps the essay can help in this aspect. </p>
<p>but don’t worry too much about SAT score. i know several people who got into UCLA with 1100-range SATs (on the old 1600 scale), and that’s not necessarily with a good GPA either! </p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>thanks a lot …thats quite relieving! can you explain what you mean by “applicant profile” though? Like GPA, EC’s, overall impression type deal?</p>
<p>Average is not 2100 at UCLA… Fall 2005’s average was 2020 (SAT I + SAT II Writing).</p>

<p>Source?
I didn’t know they posted the 2005 UCLA scores with the new SAT I scoring system…</p>
<p>No, I am just saying if you add SAT I and SAT II writing averages you get that score. That’s the closest I have gotten to an equivalent. I don’t know where kfc is getting 2100 is the expected average. He could very easily be right, I just am curious as to where he got that information. Cause that is slightly discouraging.</p>
<p>Average SAT I for fall 2005 admits: 1346
Average SAT II writing for fall 2005 admits: 674</p>
<p>1346 + 674 = 2020</p>
<p>I know there isn’t a direct correlation between SAT II writing and the new SAT I writing, but it’s the closest I can get.</p>
<p>I got this info from <a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof05.htm[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof05.htm</a></p>
<p>man…that means im still way below average with a 1950</p>
<p>i know UCLA looks a lot at numbers…will they reject me just because of that low SAT score? Cuz i know plenty of people with 2100-2200+ are applying. those applicants will make me look really bad…</p>
<p>Franchise1, your chances are not going to be so much worse because you didn’t have the extra 70 points. Your GPA is higher than the average from 2005 freshman, (Yes, I know it says average GPA is 4.17, but those are the people admitted, not the people who attend) so your chances are still great.</p>
<p>Well they read your application based on who they want to admit not who is going to attend.</p>
<p>justin, i know you’re itching for action this friday. Yeah boyeEEE</p>
<p>goodluck everyone!</p>
<p>community service isnt that important… dont get your hopes up</p>
<p>Franchise, a couple of things to remember: UC values grades more than test scores - that’s good for you. Also, the reported average GPA is an uncapped weighted average, not the UC admissions GPA. So you’re probably well above the average for people who are admitted. There’s no way to know until March, so let it go until then. You have a good shot, though.</p>
<p>“Also, the reported average GPA is an uncapped weighted average, not the UC admissions GPA.”</p>
<p>Are you sure? I’ve always thought that the reported one is UC capped.</p>
<p>honestly, no one really knows what the heck these admissions people base their decisions on. You have applied. Next step: stop stressing. Ask questions about the UCLA environment instead and see if you can get an idea if you really want to go here anyway.</p>
<p>I was accepted with a 1270 on the old SAT (700 on SAT II Writing). That’s about a 1970 if you add them together, so not far off from yours.</p>
