@artstica1: Again, it is not just about GPA and test scores. Below is what UCSC considers during their application review and each UC campus determines what they consider important in the 14 areas of criteria that all the UC’s use to determine admissions. You want college admissions just based on stats, then consider the Cal States which only use GPA and test scores.
- SANTA CRUZ
- Very important: Academic GPA, Application essay, Rigor of secondary school record, Standardized test scores, State residency
- Important: Character/personal qualities, Extracurricular activities, First generation college student, Geographical residence, Talent/ability
- Considered: Volunteer work, Work experience
- Note: Test scores, GPA in required subjects most important. Personal statement VERY IMPORTANT.
- Admission Selection: Important Note for Prospective Engineering Students: Choice of major does not influence the selection of first-year students, except for those applicants interested in a major offered by the Jack Baskin School of Engineering (BSOE). Freshmen who are interested in a BSOE program should be sure to indicate a BSOE proposed major. Students who do not indicate a BSOE program or who apply as undeclared might not be able to pursue a BSOE program.
