Why is UCLA so selective?

<p>I wouldn’t say UCLA is a stats based school. I was accepted with a 1590 SAT/24 ACT. lol I believe UCLA looks closely at the personal statements and EC’s, which I truly believe got me in UCLA. I had classmates who were ranked above me and who had higher stats than me get rejected. It’s not all about a 2400 SAT and a 4.0 GPA.</p>
