And the UCs also do this: they will take anyone from the community colleges as long as they maintain a certain gpa in community college regardless of that students’ high school transcript gpa or SAT scores. It is a well known fact in California that if you ‘blow’ high school, you get a second chance at the community college for getting into Berkeley. That is NEVER possible for UPenn, Harvard, etc.



That’s not true at all. I know someone fitting into that exact category who was admitted to Ivies this year and rejected from UCLA/Berkeley. I also know someone with a 4.0 CC GPA who was admitted to a top non-Ivy private and not top UCs. Admissions isn’t a universal thing, sorry bud
