Do I have any chance going to UCLA?

Does UCLA, USC look at your freshman grades? please help to see my acceptance chance.?

• I have extremely bad freshman grades. I averaged a 2.65 GPA freshman year, earning many B and C. I even have a D+ in honors english first semester which I went to summer school for and got an A. But all i got was the credit in summer school because there was only regular english in summer school. My sophmore GPA was a 4.0 and 4.13 GPA respectively. My first semester of junior GPA was 4.5 and probably going to get the same for 2nd semester. Since my high school does not weight our overall GPA, I highey doubt i will get in top 15% for my class because of my freshman GPA. I took every honors/AP classes I could except for 10th grade english, APUSH, 11 AP english, and probably not going to take 12 AP english. My highest SAT score is 2070, but thinking i will get 2150+ before i apply. I have multiple activities: 8 year martial arts, 12 year band, and chapter officers position at my schools DECA club. I want to major in engineering or business. I am looking to go to UCLA, USC, UCSD, and UC davis, respectively from most interest to least. Please be realistic in my chance of getting in, and how to improve my chances, as i have an year ahead of me.

• Answer:

  Chances are if your grades improved a lot they won't weigh your freshman grades as much. but they'll still take a straight 4.0 student throughout high school over you. Being spoiled helps too.
