Can l still have a chance to get into UCLA?

Could you maybe be a bit more specific about your GCSEs? Although I would agree that AS/A Level and SAT scores are much more important.

However, even more importantly, how do you fare on other aspects? How are your ECs? What's your financial situation like?

SAT/ACT scores combined with extra curriculars and I guess A levels will be significantly more important than GCSEs. Things like class rank are taken into account too normally. Try your best in GCSE, but yeah the others will be a lot more important.

I got B's in all my GCSEs and a C which l asked to convert and they said its a 3.0 GPA and l was so upset.

But in my a-levels im doing well!!!!!

My financial situation is alright to be honest, l can pay like 1,000 dollars a month for my fees with my parents help.

I've done my GCSES and got B's.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but I really don't think you've researched what studying in the US entails.

While in no ways an automatic disqualifier (as GCSEs aren't really taken into account as much), you're GPA is actually slightly below 3.0, and being the most popular, and one of the most selective schools in the USA, I don't know if UCLA is a realistic goal.

But perhaps more pressingly, do you understand you would be expected to pay at least 60,000 dollars tuition per year, with no financial aid for non-US students?

I think it might be wiser to maybe look into studying in the UK - maintain your good grades yes, it sounds like you're doing really well - but I think finance will be a big barrier in the US unless your circumstances drastically change. Keep a positive attitude though. I'm sure you'll do great somewhere!

Good luck!

So theres no scholarships l can get?

Unfortunately none exist for non-US students for UCLA.

So basically with grade B's in GCSE and A's in A-levels along with extra curriculum and good SAT score, l kiss me going UCLA goodbye😓😢

Thanks for your comment though.

How can you say that? There is no conversion for UK qualifications to GPA

I emailed the university and they converted my ( GCSEs and they came up to a 3.0 GPA but what l didn't know is that l can submit more that 5 GCSEs😪

Read previous messages to see which uni*

May I see this email?

This is copied from the email:

"Hello Chantele,

We would use a concordance table to determine IGCSE scores to letter grades. A “C” result would be equivalent to a “B” on a 4.0 scalse. 5 Cs would calculate to a 3.0 GPA.

Regards,"

*I dont do IGCSE but l told them so yeah.

And this was UCLA admissions?

No.

Who was it from?
