<p>For last year's admitted class (c/o 2017), were there any surprising acceptances to the UC system, particularly to any of the mid & high-tiers? (For example: relatively low GPA and SAT scores, little to no EC's/community services, etc..)</p>
<p>Share your stories!!</p>
<p>eeeek dont give yourself false hope with weird hook stories :/</p>
<p>but not all admitted UC students have a 4.0+ GPA and a 2000+ SAT right??</p>
<p>right. I’d say you should try to have at least a 3.5 and a 1700 though (for lower ones)</p>
<p>:/ applying to Merced would have been a good choice.
I’d say you have like a 50% chance of getting into UCSC</p>
<p>Does anyone have any miracle acceptance stories to share?? There has to be at least a few.</p>
<p>Rather than excessively bumping, try posting on the appropriate forum: UC General.</p>
