<p>Anything is possible if you want it hard enough. My sister applied this year with over 75,000 people in the application pool. Before yesterday, she’d all but lost her hope of ever getting into UCLA thanks to college confidential and its uber-qualified applicants. Against all odds, however, she was accepted.
Her SAT score was 1830 and her GPA was a 3.95 which is meager in comparison to the other applicants here. She doesn’t play a sport and didn’t create the cure for cancer, she isn’t a music prodigy and she isn’t even from California. She is, however, a very passionate person who does a lot of volunteering and was able to convey herself well through her essays.</p>
<p>That’s all there is to it. Do what you love, try your best academically, write some d*** good essays, and apply. </p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
