Valedictorian guranteed a spot?

<p>I read somewhere on CC that UCLA admits 70% of the 4.0 Unweighted in California. Is that true?</p>

<p>is is very unlikely for someone who has an 4.0 unweighted gpa to do poorly on the SAT and not being write an average essay. therefore, 70% seems low to me.</p>

<p>UCLA focuses more on extracurriculars than GPA, but I agree that 70% seems too low.</p>

<p>UCLA focuses more on GPA and test scores. Berkeley focuses more on extracurriculars.</p>
