For ELC, how much of an impact does it have on admissions and does being in top 9% of class consider freshmen year grades as well or do they calculate by UCGPA or whatnot?

<p>ELC is determined by your GPA being in the top 9% GPA of recent past classes at your high school. These GPAs are calculated by UC, not your high school.</p>

<p>Note that the last link suggest that ELC status is determined using UC weighted GPA without the cap on the number of honors points, as opposed to the more usual UC admissions GPA that caps the number of honors points to 8 semesters’ worth.</p>
