I'm really scared that I might not get in. I hear that only top 12% students can get into UC Merced. I really want to go here, though, since it is new and all. I have no good ExtraCirriculars or foreign languages.

Your Level 138 in RuneScape makes you a lock!

Troll.

There are people who ARE actually worried about getting into schools who have acceptance rates along the lines of Merced's. Cut them some slack.

KoreanBoi92 · 01-24-2009, 08:33 PM

Um. don't worry about a thing. Anyone above a 3.0 gets (well,almost all). I'm guessing you could probably even get the regents scholar thing. You have a good chance at UCLA,UCB,and UCSD. It's good that you want to go Merced because of its newness and small size. I have a feeling that you're pre-med?lol

Saugus · 01-24-2009, 08:46 PM

I honestly have no idea what I want to do. I just want to go to a UC, and I heard this one is the newest. I don't know much about College at all...

P.S. What is a troll?

KoreanBoi92 · 01-24-2009, 08:59 PM

Because of your gpa and SAT I and SAT II, if I were you, I would aim for UC's such as UCLA or UCSD.

Saugus · 01-24-2009, 09:03 PM

Wow, I didn't know I was that well off even with bad ExtraCirriculars and no Foreign Language. Are LA and Berekly my max, or do I have a shot at even higher levels?

KoreanBoi92 · 01-24-2009, 09:06 PM

hmm..I didn't catch that part. You should ask about foreign language.

amby262roy · 01-24-2009, 11:15 PM

No chance for a troll.

... Slight reach... a 4.0 uw is about -1.0 below the requirement to get into UCM.

That farming level is also a little below the average accepted at UCM

Although I think your woodcutting level may decide it. Level 95 woodcutting may allow you to cut yew trees faster, hence sell more yew logs at a faster pace than the average player at UCM and therefore gain you more GP in a shorter period of time. Selling this GP for real money could get you an unofficial Runescape scholarship.

Good luck to you

tehlunatic · 03-24-2009, 10:45 PM

I'm surprise that you didn't take the MATH II/C for the SATII. (or is it still required for UCs). When I was a senior in high school I had a friend who had a 4.0gpa and perfects on SAT1 and SATII but didn't take the math II/C. She didn't get into Cal or Davis.
