how come you left off UCLA? colorado? utah?

 

[chancemee]

I did't think UCLA would interview me as a reach school with my stat. Do you think I should still apply there? I also thought about colorado and Utah but I don't really see myself going there.. I have families in CA and NY so I mostly applied there!

Have you had any updates? My stats are very similar (3.41 cGPA, 3.34 GPA, 3.18 BCP GPA, 23 AA DAT) but I applied pretty late, would love to hear if you've had any more interviews!
