<p>Here’s what I’m speculating about how the scores will be “divided” up between the campuses:</p>
<p>According to the document, these are the values/meanings of each holistic score number:</p>
<p>1 - Emphatically Recommended for Admission (Just take me in!)
2 - Strongly Recommended for Admission (I can perform very well at your campus)
3 - Recommended for Admission (I’m a good candidate for this campus)
4 – Qualified Applicant (I’m barely there at making this campus)
5 – Recommendation for Denial (You’ve been rejected. The end.)</p>
<p>One of my friends called UCSC and found out how many points they received for their holistic review process. Turns out they had a “4” and they were waitlisted. Now, assuming that a “4” is the threshold for being waitlisted at UCSC, it means that every applicant who scored a “3”, “2”, or a “1” was accepted at UCSC (again, this is an assumption… a “3” may have resulted in a waitlist as well, we don’t know). So if you got into UCSC, you had a score of “3” or higher. I would think that UCLA/UCB accept applicants who have scored a “1” or a “2”. They may also accept a certain number of people who scored a “3” based on space availability. A “4” or a lower is definitely a rejection at UCB/UCLA because if you were waitlisted at UCSC, you’re certainly not going to be competitive enough for UCB/UCLA’s applicants. </p>
<p>So what do we realize from all this analysis? Applicants who scored a “2” or a “1” will most probably be admitted to UCLA/UCB. Applicants who scored a “3” may or may not be admitted. Again, this is all my personal speculation, so be sure to take this with a grain of salt. We’ll find out LA’s results tomorrow so hang in there everyone!</p>
