<p>Want to do something involving pre-med</p>

<h2>-Please tell me if I can make it! Thank you!</h2>

<p>If you think that I can’t make it into UCLA(please tell me why and list a match school)</p>

<p>It’s definitely a reach. Last year GPA was very important for admissions and friends of mine with similar scores and higher GPA were denied.</p>

<p>A good match school for you would be UC Irvine or UC Davis and UCSD will be a slight reach.</p>

<p>anyone else? please?</p>

<p>ahhh … I think it would be sort of a reach, but with good essays it could happen. I would just advise you to study for the subjects and SAT I when you take them. If you take it serious you may get in.</p>

<p>Thank you for the support Viromonkey, anyone else?</p>

<p>Reach, need higher scores.</p>

<p>Guys/Gals, Im looking at the University of California Introduction 08’-09’. This booklet has info about all the UC’s, such as tests/gpa/etc…</p>

<p>Here is what I found out:
Average UCLA GPA: 4.14
ACT COMP: 28</p>

<p>And out of the 12,577 students who applied with a 3.7-3.99 Gpa, only 1,457 were accepted. </p>

<p>I really hope that I end up being one of those 1,457 students. <em>Fingers Crossed</em></p>

<p>any1 else?</p>
