Misc: accepted to UCI (Biomed Engineering), UCSB (Bio), UCSD, UC Davis, UCSC, UC Riverside, Santa Clara, UW, and SDSU (i.e. all schools applied to); waitlisted to UCLA; Berkeley not announced yet
SAT: obviously not considered, but he received 1500 the first time he took it (minimal prep). He earned 780 in math on his initial SAT and felt he could improve substantially on the reading, writing & language portion. so he fully prepped for the next SAT in March 2020 but it was canceled (repeatedly).

He’s thrilled with his UC choices so the SLO rejection isn’t a concern, but I’m adding the stats in case it helps someone next year (if they get rejected from SLO or don’t receive a decision for several weeks after the initial SLO acceptances are announced, all is not lost!).

Best of luck to everyone with their decisions and next steps in life.

Edited to add: admitted to Berkeley.
