get into UCLA

It’s not a point of “Oh…UCLA…I would like to apply there..” its now a point of being obsessed. I MUST go there. I HAVE TO get in. Yes, I would go somewhere else, but I would be missing a part of myself if I didn’t know what it was like to go to UCLA or at least get in. I have many many many extracurriculars. 2 school clubs, 2 sports a year, over 100 hours of Community Service, youth group, summer programs (one of which was AT UCLA the other was community service based). My GPA is less than perfect and I am going to take my SAT twice (spring and winter). I can’t stop working for this. I NEED it.
Simple as that and enough said.

I’m in my senior year of high school and UCLA is the only place I wish to study at. It would be an honor, and I believe I can do great deeds in the name of the school!!

I visited UCLA thinking that I wouldn’t like it, assuming it wasn’t the school for me. I took the tour and fell in love. I didn’t want to leave until I had every building, brick and step memorized. It’s a beautiful campus so full of traditions that I would love to be a part of. I’ve had a 4.0 GPA all through high school and got a 1950 on the SAT. I was so scared submitting my application, but I did it, and I can’t wait to hear back. I won’t be able to rest peacefully until I do.

i got into ucla with an 1800 SAT score and a 3.353 GPA. I am an underachiever but a genius none the less. I am great

For my sophomore year my gpa was 2.66, and first semester junior year it was 2.99. I’ve realized that even with a 4.0 for my second semester its barely 3.0 altogether. I’ve become so horribly depressed since, it’s always been a dream of mine to go. I realize while you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking why didn’t I try harder, why did I slip; the answer is: I don’t know, I always thought I had the ability to significantly raise it. My chances of getting into any decent college are slim, I just don’t know what to do, but I don’t think giving up altogether is a good choice either. I guess I can just hope for the best, and be happy with any college that accepts me.

there’s always grad school, i guess. i got into Berkeley though! lol, amazingly. but it definitely doesn’t beat UCLA..

The only school I feel like I would be truly happy at is UCLA, but even my parents are telling me I really have to work harder to get in.
I have a 4.57 weighted GPA this year (I have 8 class periods a day), and next year I’m in swimming, soccer, tennis, Key Club President, French Club Vice president, Red Cross Club Secretary, CSF member, founder of Film Club, 150 hours of hospital volunteering, and 2 jobs. I took AP Euro as a sophmore, and AP US history, AP English, and AP chemistry as a junior and got all As in all of them, except the first semester of sophmore year.

This is ridiculous. I’m seriously killing myself with the stress of maintaining all of this work, and then I see people who are doing even more.

So, apparently my buddy got into UCLA with a 3.0 GPA.
Though I’m too late to do the internship which would take me 2 years to get into UCLA (plus the 4 years of finishing classes) which is worse than going to a CC and then transferring to UCLA

I opted for UCR route which is far more harder and also, having a few friends in the admissions department won’t hurt either.

Other than that, talk to a counselor at UCLA in the department you want to major in to see what you should do to get in.

this past christmas i went to Los Angeles. I fell in love with it. I also visited UCLA….LOVED IT. its such a beautiful place. i really want to work hard at being able to get into it.

I must be thinking about it way too much. I just want it so badly I’m obsessed with it to where it’s all I’m thinking about, when I should be doing my assignments, which will help me get into UCLA. I need to find a way not think about it, but still make it my main priority. Wish me luck!
