Haven’t you already sent in your UC app? It was due a week ago. If so, which UCs did you apply to?

Maybe @ucbalumnus‌ can chime in here, but my gut tells me that the UCs more heavily weight GPA for instate students to give their residents who attend underprivileged schools a fighting chance to be admitted. However, such leniency isn’t needed for OOS students, so once past the minimum OOS GPA (somewhere around 3.4), maybe test scores can tip the scale? It would seem that being “score whores” for full-pay OOS students would be beneficial to the UCs in a variety of ways.
