<p>Here is a spreadsheet based on the documented UC Davis admissions formula. Enter your stats and conservatively estimate additional points for the other factors. Remember that the admissions committee seems to have fairly specific rules and thresholds for assigning points - president of a club may receive half points but secretary might get nothing. Add them up and compare to a very rough estimate for the cutoff to be admitted. If you are well above (250+ points above) the cutoff estimate, consider yourself to have very good chances. If you are well below (250 or more below), unlikely to be accepted. If close, cross your fingers. </p>

<p>The cutoff will be different for various majors and of course higher for out of state applicants. The estimate here is a general value for majors such as English. </p>
<p>The various factors are judged by some rubric that is not fully documented externally. For example, how much of a GPA increase from 9 to 11th grade would qualify an applicant for the 250 points? A .4 increase is probably not enough - you have to guess if a 1.0 increase is sufficient. </p>
<p>My assumption is that the admissions system assigns points to all applicants, the applicants are sorted by total points, and then the committee will assign a point cutoff for each group of applicants that gives them the total number of acceptances they want to have. Thus, each year’s pool of applicants determines the cutoff, along with the school’s intended number of acceptances.</p>
