I got in with a 3.5 UC GPA
I’m in state…
2140 SAT
770 SAT II Literature
670 SAT II US History
5 in Envi Sci and Psych AP
4 in Gov and Art History AP
3 in Microecon and Euro AP
and zero extracurriculars. My essay was good. Writing well is really helpful. I believe that people who say that the UC’s only care about numbers are citing either outdated (and frankly questionable) statistics or just expressing their opinions. …As am I. Take any internet advice with a grain of sea salt.
Also: definitely take subject tests.
P.S. I got an F and two D’s
They probably kind of inferred that I’m a very lazy brainiac but accepted me anyway because of my personal statement swag.
