Hi UCLAHopeful,
Thank you for your post and for sharing your profile. You have provided data-points to this post, but not a lot of qualitative components - academics are good, work experience is on par, and ECs are good too. Competitiveness for top programs is the ability to successfully weaving the quantitative with the qualitative -the achievements, experiences that go beyond a job title, and lessons learned differentiate you from other equally qualified applicants.
I see glimpses of a compelling story - particularly your immigration from India to the United States (a story I share). You would benefit from a conversation where we get to dive deeper within your experiences and also see how we guide your approach to UCLA and other universities. When ready, please reach out.
Good luck!
