I’m very interested in going to UCLA for their media program. I write screenplays, songs, One Acts, poetry in my free time as well as make videos and am very interested in pursuing this. Although a large problem is money. First off, what are my chances? Second, what should I do to improve them.

tough to give u chances with no standardized tests and incomplete GPA and lack of being in ur senior year

try to take as challenging courses as possible (UCs love seeing u take APs, even if ur school doesn’t have too many they like seeing u take as many as u can) but make sure to get As or at least Bs
study hard for the SAT or ACT, try to take it only one time or a few times. aim for at least the UCLA average (getting better will help u a lot)
ur sophrmore GPA dropped from freshman—make sure to keep that up
but dont stop doing ur ECs, they are important not only for college but for ur passions
