<p>Sorry, forgot to add GPA and class rank, it’s up there now…As for not being underqualified…most of the people in this forum have some pretty darn high scores, leadership positions, community service, etc…which I think i’m lacking…it’s depressing. Anyhoo…thanks for any help guys!</p>

<p>Thanks for the info blaineko. Does anyone else have any imput? While we’re at it…does anyone know the point system for UC admissions?
again, thanks!</p>

<p>Im not very sure, but I think a 3.66666/4 (an A-) is a 4.0 at USC (university of southern california)'s system.</p>

<p>as for point sytem, I think they just look at you overall.</p>

<p>Ummmm Flopsy, have you noticed that you are the easiest rater on this web site? I think you are a very nice person and want to make people feel good, but you do go a bit too easy.</p>

<p>Thanks folks. I think I’ve answered my own question about UC point system…here’s a link for all you interested:
<a href=“http://www-er.ucsd.edu/alumni/magazine/vol1no2/features/admissions.htm[/url]”>http://www-er.ucsd.edu/alumni/magazine/vol1no2/features/admissions.htm&lt;/a&gt;
Info about the point system is in the bottom 4th of the page.
Any more imput on my chances would be appreciated.</p>
