General guidelines, IMO, for being a very solid candidate for UCB/UCLA - 3.9+ unweighted GPA in 10th and 11th grade, 1500+ SAT or 34+ ACT, 8+ AP classes taken by end of 12th grade, 2 or more leadership positions. Higher test scores along with perfect or near perfect Subject test scores for many STEM majors. Obviously many people will not have all of these stats, and do get in, including my own kid. Hooks, good extracurriculars, strong essays, and other family circumstances can make up a little bit for grades and test scores.
