UC Admission Rejections

Each UC has their own criteria when it comes their application review and they do not talk to each other. What is your intended major? Do you have any safety schools?

Top 9% only guarantees admission to UC Merced if spots are available and not a UC of your choice.

Just based on your UC GPA here are the admit rates from last year. Also if you applied to a competitive major such as Engineering/STEM, you need stats above the averages. Stats alone do not guarantee an acceptance since your EC’s and essays will also be taken into consideration. The UC’s try to select the best fit class of Freshman for their own campus.
