<p>Things to be learned from this?

  1. Being ELC makes life easier, note the 90%+ admit rate for some UC’s
  2. Out of state people might have hard time.
  3. UCLA has too many applicants
  4. You better have done some weighted classes in sophomore year and junior year for UCB and UCLA</p>

<p>Now go Chance Yourselves!</p>

<p>“1. Being ELC makes life easier, note the 90%+ admit rate for some UC’s”</p>

<p>This is an associated finding, not “causal”, if I’m not mistaken, and I believe the admission rate was higher for OOS than in state at Cal and/or UCLA this last admission cycle.</p>

<p>Very helpful, good to be ELC XD</p>

<p>That’s probably UC GPA,
[University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/askuc/answers/calculating.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/askuc/answers/calculating.html)</p>

<p>Yes, make sure to notice that the GPAs listed above are UC GPAs, not total weighted.</p>

<p>Also, don’t think that having ELC status will help much for Berkeley and LA. They have higher admit rates there since obviously ELC kids have the higher GPAs, but it’s not guaranteed or anything close to it like the mid-tiers. For example, if you have a 1500 SAT but are ELC, don’t think that you have a good shot at LA or Berkeley just because of that status.</p>

<p>From the past students I’ve coached, all ELC students were accepted to UCSD and many of them were accepted to either UCLA or Berkeley. ELC definitely gives an edge over other students when it comes to the UCs. Although it’s changing starting with the class of 2012.</p>

7

<p>It does give an advantage at UCSD, but at LA and Berkeley it’s just that ELC kids obviously have the higher GPAs. It isn’t really a hook there.</p>

8

<p>Yes…</p>

<p>I love how high quality the UC system is! The level of education given in CA is absolutely amazing compared to other states.</p>

9

<p>Yes, it’s really a shame what is happening to the system right now.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks for the information, it’s very helpful. I’m glad I live in CA:)</p>
