I saw UCSD’s review formula… althought i have no idea how they came up with the certain numbers…

GPA - 4500
ELC - 300
First Generation -300
Low Income - 300

Does this really mean that being an ELC (top 4%) is actually weighted the same as being a First Generation/Low Income student??? Does anyone know how other campuses weight ELC in comparison to other admission factors?
