I recently saw one UC conversion table on one of the college discussion forums,the table is pretty scary.

If that is true,it is shocking to say at least.Especially when I found out that I didn't fill in the 7th&8th a-g courses to increase that score....(I'm international,so I don't know whether is matters or not) Anyway,I just want to share this information with all UC applicants. And I hope some students studying in UC will give a response to this about whether it is fact or fiction....
