UCLA good for architecture or engineering? Do I have a good chance at that college?
Is UCLA a good college for Architecture or Engineering. I really want to go to UCLA because a lot of my relatives go there and they say its great. I'm not sure if I can go there now because I've been mostly getting A's and B's and I heard most UCLA students were 4.0 gpa students their whole life. My GPA is usually around the 3.5 range. I do play tennis, but I'm not in the team yet. I am currently taking Algebra 2 in sophmore year and I plan to take summer math courses to work my way up to calculus my senior year. If I do get into calculus, will it raise my chance in becoming accepted to UCLA and become successful in an architecture career. Sorry for making this so long >.<, starting to worry about college after getting a couple of B's on math tests because I'm planning to get straight A's throughout the rest of my highschool years.

- If you live in California and you get A's for the rest of your high school career, get an awesome SAT score (like top 10%), and have lots of extra curricular activities, then you still probably only have a small chance of getting into that school. Its one of the best in the nation, so you have to be one of the best in the nation. Any UC by the time you apply for college is going to be very hard to get into. Maybe Riverside or Irvine. Cal (berkeley) is better at architecture. But it doesn't matter. You probably won't want to be one by that time anyways.
- You will need to get higher than 4.0 weighted to have a chance. You'd have to take a lot of AP's and honors courses to boost the grades. Also need to do extremely well on the SAT's. It's a great college for architecture and engineering and is one of the best ones out there.
