<p>my apush teacher’s husband is a uci admissions officer. he came and told us that ucs don’t actually focus on exact numbers: they use how you compare against your peers at school (i’m assuming through percentiles), e.g. sat, gpa, and rank. he said that our true competition are our own classmates (but it’s important that regardless we have solid stats overall). anyway, your sat is exceptional. how is your rank?</p>
<p>by the way, if it’s not too personal, what did you do during your winery volunteering? sounds interesting!</p>
