      ucla is one of the hardest schools to get into, you are looking good but there are alot of other kids who are just like you, you cant just do average on the SAT you have to do very well. But overall you are on the right track. my sister goes there so i know.

      well i had less extracurriculars than you and I got in for Fall 2009 (although i declined their offer of admission today lol). I would say you have a pretty good chance. Your GPA is a little higher than mine (mine’s like 4. 1) and I have less volunteer hours. And I’m just at a regular public high school. Continue to take AP’s throughout high school and keep up your good grades and I think you’ll be fine.

      It is still early, of course, but your GPA and activities look good for now. You will need to do far better than average on your SATs in order to get into UCLA, which gets more applications than any other college in the country most years, and thus is extremely competitive to get into.

      seems like you have a pretty good chance of getting in.
      Keep in mind that they accepted 8% this year though.
