<p>Okay so I know I don’t really have a shot, but whatever.
I applied to UC Berkeley in high school and was accepted, but was rejected from UCLA (where I’d ideally transfer). I’m now a sophomore at NYU and I would be applying to UCLA for next fall as an English major with a creative writing focus.</p>
<p>In high school:
not sure of my gpa, I’d guess a 3.8 or so unweighted, maybe 4.0 weighted?
2100 on the SATs (750 Writing, 700 Critical Reading, 650 Math)
pretty good extracurriculars (main ones were acting and being Entertainment Editor on the school newspaper)</p>
<p>In college:
NYU College of Arts and Sciences
Major: Dramatic Literature, Theater History and the Cinema [basically an English major, but for plays]. Minors: Creative Writing [not offered as a major], Producing [not offered as a major]
3.7 gpa
for ECs:
freshman year–did a lot of acting, nannied
summer–interned at a TV production company, worked at a bookstore
sophomore year–working part-time at a literary agency, hoping to get another part-time job, hope to enter and possibly win a short story contest or two. I’ve never really submitted my work before, but I have a lot of fiction that I’ve just worked on on my own and in classes.</p>
<p>I haven’t done all the core curriculum yadayada because obviously many UCLA courses do not match those at NYU. But please offer your honest opinionas to whether or not I’ll get in–I am aware that statistically I don’t have much of a chance (esp. as UCLA is a very numbers-driven school) but I would appreciate your opinions nonetheless…</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
