ELC Status

[cjd114]

@ucbalumnus

UC has recalculated GPAs for a recent previous high school class to establish the ELC benchmark GPA for your high school. Your recalculated GPA is then compared against the benchmark GPA.

The UC web sites describing how ELC is determined do not specify which GPA is used, but most UC references to high school GPA refer to weighted-capped unless otherwise specified. You may want to ask your counselor which GPA is used and what the benchmark for your school is.

From the UC Website:

To be designated as ELC, a student must have attended an eligible, participating California high school, satisfactorily completed a specific pattern of 11 UC-approved courses prior to the start of senior year, and have a UC-calculated GPA that meets or exceeds the top 9 percent GPA benchmark established by UC for their school.

So, the ELC UC GPA is dependent upon your school. I would ask your Guidance Counselor.

the worst part is that i have asked my councilors and they all tell me to read the ELC website. So idk which gpa it is, since it really isnt specified
