Can your family afford close to $55K/year for UCLA? As an OOS applicant, you will get little to no financial aid and minimal merit aid if you qualify (usually top 1% of applicants). You are on the right track but impossible to tell until you finish Junior year. UCLA only uses 10-11th grades for the UC a-g courses to calculate your GPA. Your SAT will need to be close to 2100+ for a good chance, so you would need to retake.
Here is the UC GPA calculator and a link to the UC a-g course requirements. Make sure you meet all the requirements or your application will no be considered. Good Luck and come back at the end of Junior year for a chancing. For the UC GPA calculator, only AP/IB courses count for the 8 semesters of Honors points for OOS applicants. UCLA will also used a fully weighted GPA along with capped weighted GPA.
