As a student going into my freshman year of high school, I really want to get into UCLA, it has been my dream school for sooo long, I know it is a very competitive school to get into, but I will work my hardest in my high school years to get into UCLA, I really hope when I apply to this school I get in, but I know it’s takes a lot of hard work and time to get in, so let the challenge begin :)))
"Do something stupid. Just because it's dumb." Gary had some useful points, but lost me with that line. It's the kind of things active admission officers say to make you feel better about yourself. It's one of the reasons my channel exists.
Bacon Pizza not really lol. Sure Princeton is "more prestigious" but for someone living in socal it might be better to attend ucla due to cost, and preference in terms of location
The main difference as compared to all my child’s other applications is that no letters of recommendation were required. I wonder what is the argument for or against LOR.
There's a place where you can explain that. And maybe you weren't a part of the same soccer team at all four schools, but you continuously joined each soccer team or you made sure to take up whatever sports team your school did have. You can show that you have commitment to community service or leadership regardless of location.
There are exceptions, if you listened he said it's a holistic evaluation. If you moved 4 times in high school yet kept a high gpa and remained active in all of those schools, that might even impress the admissions officers more than the kid who did the same at just one school
Which SAT score is better? Composite: 1370, Math-740, English-630, Essay-17 or Composite: 1350, Math-680, English-670, Essay-20 I'm applying as a political science major.
@@idriskorane9697 really? I know it's been 3 years, but do you mind giving a bit of context? I'm doing AS and A-Levels and I'm also applying this year!!
in the University of California system Asians completely dominate admission. So what the likes of super left universities like Berkeley and UCLA have done is break Asian/Pacific Islander into 7+ different categories (chinese, japanese, filipino etc) to present the false appearance that Whites still are the majority and are therefore to blame for low numbers of black & latino enrollment. If one ethnic groups dominant enrollment was the sole factor to point to why blacks and latinos are underrepresented than you would have to lay the blame at the feet of asian over representation in the University of California system.
UCs are not able to consider race or ethnicity in the admition process so one race can't be purpusfuly over represented. Only test scores, GPA, APs, and extraciriculars will affect your admition.
Or maybe it’s because Asian culture promotes a good work ethic?... We’re highly disciplined, from when we grow up, we are taught that everything is earned, and we are expected to not only do our best, but go above and beyond what is needed. It’s something I don’t really notice with white families in general
@@DOPEdwarf The Admissions team CAN SEE the applicants name e.g Lupita Garcia, Deontay Jackson, Hyung Nguyen , Benjamin Goldberg, etc etc AND they can see the applicants extracurriculars Black Students Association, Asian Student Union, Future Latino Business Leaders etc . CLEARLY you never went to UCLA you simple-minded horse's ASS.
christianoh98 Hippie city* School itself is no more liberal than the average uni in America. Our chancellor is a neoliberal who got student protestors locked up through the 80s, and we aren't the uni that has professors saying they won't respond to white males in class; you're thinking of U Penn if you disagree ;)
I agree with you; I only chose Berkeley because I'm wholly focused on academics and desire proximity to strong graduate programs and influential professors. Besides this though, Berkeley is easily the worst city I've ever set foot in; it's drowning in the moldy decadence of anarchism as we speak. If you are to study at Berkeley, you should intend to remain on campus around the clock.
It cuts off in the part I wanted to hear

Does SAT or ACT scores are needed for getting admission in UCLA ?
are you a straight white male..? cus if you are, don't bother applying...
@@conni70 why?
Are you chinese? Dont bother applying
Yes act and sat scores are needed. Around a 34 on act and 1500 on sat, but if you have a high gpa, above 3.8 then you’re still lucky
LOL I am 100% am sure that I am the student he had to rescind. I sent my transcripts in hella late.

shut the fuck up
Dam, this school seems harder to get into than Harvard!!
We are the real fucking deal here at UCLA. Dare to apply!
+Rah L. I go to Princeton, so no thank you

Probably they just can't read them all in time. Over 100,000 applicants last yr, times 2 recs per person means over 200,000 letters of recs to read.
This is the best advice I've heard
where is the rest of the video??????
That tie though...
he discouraged me when he said commitment. i cant commit to a specific sport or activitys. when i went to four different high school

Thank you Gary
we aint makin it
I think you missed the part where students have to pay 500k to get in.
I didnt have to 🐻💛🤷🏽♀️
@@ME-wu9dy whyy????
Mukbang Newbie were you out of state
Umm...that would be USC.
Nah that’s USC your talking about
whhyyyy did it cut off

I thought the UC schools only accept the score from your highest composite from one sitting?
What about igcse students?
I did IGCSE and then AS and I was just accepted!
what is that?

Is the policy about not looking at freshman grades still a thing bc I got a b minus this year in ap human
how did it go? u got in?
@@Born2Losenot2win no lol I’m a freshman in high school and I didn’t do so great in that class
@@yabe1x557 I see, study hard and gl
@@Born2Losenot2win you too
I think so, since the UC GPA is supposedly calculated from 10th and 11th grades, but don't take my word for it
Just be rich and pay your way in. No essay or GPA needed.
ignorant comment
That did happen, but at USC, not UCLA

UCs don't see race on applications you blabbering fool. And when you look up school demographics all asians are grouped together in one category

"ok, before we start this discussion, if you're a straight white male we need you to leave the room"...
UC's do not see race, sex, or sexual orientation on applications.
boooo, Berkeley is best

Could you elaborate on why you're now questioning the quality of the university itself?
Jesse Franckowiak Good school, bad students.
