Welcome to College Confidential.

First question is your weighted GPA, your capped weighted UC GPA since that is what UC Santa Cruz will consider?

Here is the calculator: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Average UC capped weighted GPA for this year’s Freshman class was 3.96. You are below the 50th percentile but above the 25th percentile.

Your SAT score is below the average but bumping it up above 1300+ could help your chances.

For 2017, the admit rate for a UC GPA capped weighted of 3.8-4.19 was 75%. I would say you are a Match if you can increase your SAT score.

Best of luck and below what UCSC considers important in their application review.

Very important: Academic GPA, Application essay, Rigor of secondary school record, Standardized test scores, State residency

Important: Character/personal qualities, Extracurricular activities, First generation college student, Geographical residence, Talent/ability

Considered: Volunteer work, Work experience

Note: Test scores, GPA in required subjects most important. Personal statement very important.

Admission Selection: Important Note for Prospective Engineering Students: Choice of major does not influence the selection of first-year students, except for those applicants interested in a major offered by the Jack Baskin School of Engineering (BSOE). Freshmen who are interested in a BSOE program should be sure to indicate a BSOE proposed major. Students who do not indicate a BSOE program or who apply as undeclared might not be able to pursue a BSOE program.
