Also, I think you are allowed to inform the admission if there has been any major changes.
Isn’t the fact that one receives a supplement a sign that one is a borderline applicant? I read this on previous threads multiple times
@McKilla99 Yes, i believe that supplemental questions were sent to borderline students. Although, I thought I was borderline for UCLA’s Letters of Arts and Sciences based on their admitted student profile (3.80UW/4.33W/33ACT and good essays and EC’s) but I did not receive a supplemental application, so i’m not 100% sure.
@bruin2020 where did you get those stats for L&S
@crossovercuber Sorry, I didn’t mean specifically for LSA, i was talking about UCLA’s freshman profile in general.
I heard UCI announced honors recipients. Does anyone know if UCLA announced honora recipients?
Greetings,
I am an Indian student - applied to UCLA for fall 2016
So my questions is,
Is UCLA too competitive for Mechanical Engineering?
I have an ACT 31 ( M34 E34 R25 S30 W/E combined 31)
Subject tests - PCM 790,780,800
Toefl - 114/120
9th grade - 10/10 cgpa
10th - 94.6%10/10 cgpa
11th- 91%
12th - 94% predicted
Keeping these stats in mind , is it too ambitious of me to think that I would get into UCLA- Mech Engineering?
@Rahulbarcafan I’m in CBSE too. My SAT is higher (2320), but my 11th was 77% and 12th predicted is 87%. I’m not too worried about GPA - and you definitely not be worried about your GPA - since UCLA specifically says that cumulative % for competitive Indian applicants last year was 80%+. Idk your ECs, but I’d say you’ve a good shot as long as you don’t have a combination of lacklustre - or completely lacking - ECs and mediocre essays.
Do you guys think that the freshman profile is skewed since most of the engineering students have really high GPA’s and SAT’s/ACT’s in order to be competitive. I think it’s crazy that the 75th percentile GPA is a 4.60. Could that just be a result of a skewed data set or do you think that someone applying as a undeclared life sciences major would also be expected to have such grades and test scores?
@sftrader, I doubt they did because we would have read it on here already.
@McKilla99 I have well rounded ECs but not too much in the direction of mechanical engineering, and good essays I would say … Crisp and to the point. PM me the other colleges youve been admitted to and are expecting decisions from maybe?
@McKilla99 Also I am doing my 11th and 12th from maharshtra state board and not cbse… would that affect my chances drastically? Also where did you get that info on the 80% thing?
supplemental info has to be sent to what email ID?
My sister is a UCLA applicant, who wants to major in Nursing. Her stats are pretty good, I think a 2010 in SAT, 4.5 weighted GPA, started a crochet club in high school, participates in high school poetry slams, Mock Trial, and she loves science.
AP courseload is not much: AP World, Bio, Chem, and French. The last three are from 12th grade.
She also applied to UCI and CSUF for Nursing. UCI is her first choice, but UCLA is good too.
UCLA is about two hours away from where we live, so she will have to live on-campus, which will be an issue (since we can’t afford it).
Does anyone know if it’s possible to commute daily from south Orange County to UCLA?
@bruin2020 the stats are balanced by athletes
It’s possible but I wouldn’t do it.
@bruin2020 Numbers can always be skewed. As my math teacher told us, “I can make statistics look any way I want.” Look, a lot of top students are applying to UCLA. But that doesn’t mean you won’t get in. A lot of Ivy people will wear acceptance to UCLA as some kind of petty badge. Don’t let that be you. College admission is not a commodity. It’s a privilege and something you’ve worked hard for. They have a comprehensive holistic process and we just have to have faith that it works out in our favor. I’m stressing too though. But I think that a larger applicant pool can only help us. They’ll have more of a reason to consider those with lower test scores since the range is so broad. If you’ve got good activities and essays, you’re golden in my book. That’s when they decide on people rather than numbers. Be confident. And that goes for everyone on here. Good luck! In recent years, acceptances have gone out around the 20th of next month. Not much longer to wait now!
Super nervous and excited at the same time! Can’t wait - 2/3 more weeks of waiting!
@crossovercuber Is it really that skewed by athletes? I may be wrong, but I didn’t think they made up a large percentage of the freshman acceptance 
@jackisawesome i tend to believe that the difference between a normal admitted freshman has a bigger stat disparity with athletes than with engineer, so even with fewer athletes they balance it, but thats completely my theory though
