the way I’ve been interpreting it, the UC’s will apparently take the top 9% of students and will give them ELC to either Merced, Santa Cruz, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Irvine, and/or Davis based on stats such as GPA and SAT scores, and that if accepted you MAY be guaranteed to one or multiple of these as long as you have applied there, with how many and which one(s) depending on the factors mentioned. I also think I heard although you may be considered “eligible for ELC” you don’t get any guarantees till Janurary when they look over GPA and SATs and determine you are one of the top 9% overall students applying (not just in ur school) and it will be then where you are told IF you get UC guarantees and if so which one(s).
Does all this sound right or am I misunderstanding anything or maybe even everything?
