<p>Mega safety</p>

3

<p>Safe match.</p>

4

<p>100% admittance
90% campuswide honors program
50% regents or chancellors scholarship</p>

<p>You’d definitely get into some more prestigious school but apply anyways, because you could nab that 9k/year scholarship.</p>

5

<p>UC GPA is capped at 4.5, but you should be looking at private schools with those stats.</p>

6

<p>ELC = 94.7% Acceptance rate at UCI. Even if you write a 2 word essay, you’ll pretty much be in :)</p>

7

<p>*** go for UCLA/berkeley too!</p>

<p>although it’s too late now…oh wait no, you can write a letter telling them you want to apply to different schools.</p>

<p>if you had printed out your app, sneezed on the personal statement portion, and sent it in, you’d be into UCI…seriously.</p>

<p>Every non UCLA/ Berkeley UC is pretty much a safety for ELC students.:spades:</p>

<p>100% chance.</p>
