Hi,
I wanted to know if UCLA look heavily on high school gpa and SAT/ACT scores? I did fairly poor in high school (2.3 gpa) but I currently have a 4.0 with honors classes and part of the TAP program at my cc. Also, I have a unique background where I attended a vocational school (culinary arts school) after high school, and after graduating from my culinary arts school I worked several years. I decided to go back to school last year and on my application it might seem like I took a large gap from high school to cc, however, I’ve been working full-time ever since my graduation. I was wondering if UCLA will look heavily upon this and hinder my admissions? Also, since I’ll be older than majority of the transfer students to UCLA, will I be less considered, considering that younger students are excelling just as much as I am.

Thank you.
