Chances at getting into UCLA?

I'm curious about my chances at getting into UCLA. I am a pretty good student. Solid GPA and ECs I guess. Here's my stats. I am a will be a senior in high school beginning this fall. My GPA as of now is a 3.71 Unweighted and a 4.0-4.2 Weighted I have As in my math and science classes except for a "C " in AP Bio for one semester. I am going to take AP Calc BC, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP APES and 2 other undecided electives and plan on getting As for them all. I took Statistics, Drawing and an introductory Engineering course at my local community college. My SAT scores are as follows: 590 on Critical Reading 600 on Math 600 on Writing (8 on the essay) SAT Subjects 600 Math 2 520 Biology M (They messed up my score. The score report says I took E *sighs* oh well) My extracurriculars are pretty good I guess. Here they are: I am in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Pre-College Pipeline program at UCLA.http://www.hhmi.org/grants/query/index.php Basically, I research with a top professor/researcher at UCLA on a certain subject. Mine is on cell signaling and stem cell research. By the way, I work in Dr. Wong's lab at the UCLA school of dentistry. http://www.dentistry.ucla.edu/faculty/wong/ We have to come up with a large research presentation and well, present it at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Pacific Division to a auditorium of scientists. It is a 6 week residential program. I live/eat/etc at the dorms. I am also in the Junior Engineering Technical Society at my school. I take Engineering classes from the California State University, Northridge (ACCESS program)http://www.csun.edu/pubrels/press_releases/fall07/engineeringaccess.html I volunteer at a local institution that helps poor people to make it simple. (MEND)http://www.mendpoverty.org/ I am a tutor and mentor to my autistic brother and a Sophomore in my school. I mentor my brother in speech/etc etc etc and the sophomore in math and science. I am a member of the science club at my school. I am also a member of the ACE club (Achievement Commitment Excellence). This club focuses on personal and mental welfare and success in the future. I am in the EAOP (Early Academic Outreach Program) http://www.eaop.org/ I am very knowldegeable in lab techniques (everything basically). I also wrote a "killer" (according to my AP English teacher) admissions essay so you may want to take a look at that (ask me). Tell me what you think.

2. I suggest that you read over actual student reviews of many people who attended there and see what grades, test scores, and extracurriculars they had to get in successfully. You also will get lots of information about the school you will not get in a college guidebook. http://www.studentsreview.com
