Do Davis and Irvine actually use a "point system"

<p>Oh, I do agree that Cal and LA use holistic reviews; they say so on their websites. However, it appears to me that all of the other campuses use point systems. It isn’t just UCD and UCSD, because UCSC also posts their formula.</p>

<p>Still, it doesn’t really matter. Adcoms will always be a mystery, and decisions come out next week anyway. No use trying to decode the system now ;)</p>

<p>^yeah, except in the case of Merced it’s only two points: </p>

<p>1) B average, check;
2) gotta pulse, check.</p>

<p>^ lol, true.</p>

<p>doeas this point system really work? i mean i calculated mine and it was like 8100 and the cutoff is 7900, does this mean i’m in for davis?</p>

<p>^ The points for GPA/SAT are straight forward, but how do you award points for your leadership/talents? Are you sure the college think the same way as you do?</p>

<p>i gave myself the least i could.</p>
