<p>You do not need to note that you are top 10%, other than listing your class size and rank. The UCs use a formula to determine if you are eligible for admission. Use this site to determine your eligibility: <a href=“http://www.ucop.edu:8080/eligibilitycalc/begin.jsp[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu:8080/eligibilitycalc/begin.jsp](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_how.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_how.html)</a> If the calculator shows that you are UC-eligible, it is assumed you are in approx. the top 10%.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
