Any miracle UC acceptance stories from 2013?

<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>I know, my stats aren’t looking so good though. But I’m still hoping.</p>

<p>All my detailed stats: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1611527-please-read-applied-to-uc-s-really-worried-i-will-chance-you.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1611527-please-read-applied-to-uc-s-really-worried-i-will-chance-you.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Seriously though, any miracle UC acceptance stories from 2012 or 2013 would be much appreciated :)</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>Bump… :(</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>
