How overblown is the UCLA name???

<p>Couple of corrections:</p>

<p>

Applicant 1, was probably an athlete. </p>

<p>Good average stats: 3.83/4.59/2082, but definitely some leap-frogging by some [with lower…] over those with [higher] stats.

…UCLA [should] add a premium over Cal because it’s in arguably the most expensive real estate on the planet. [The slight premium in difference between the two could be med school profs salaries at UCLA, etc. To make any real difference, there should be a premium of 10% and >.]

<p>And WorriedJrGirl, I wouldn’t put myself down for having a ‘low’ score and grades. I wanted to see how much below 2000 you scored and saw that you scored a 30 ACT, which corresponds to ~ 2000 SAT or slightly > based on history of the history of score(r)s who took both… and these 4.5+ gpas are final senior grades. PVP has A LOT of AP/Honors.</p>
