I am an out of state student applying to UC santa cruz. my grades from freshman year are VERY poor- 69 in Earth science, 79 in global history, 71 in algebra 1, and I failed english 9, retaking it with a 96 the next year.
This is because i was absent for 5 months of my freshman year due to hospitalization for depression, but I obviously do not want to disclose that on my application as an explanation.
My gpa for years 10 and 11 is a 3.7, but my gpa overall is 3.0 or 85.625
I got a 1560 on the SAT.
How much consideration will UC Santa Cruz (my top choice school) put towards my freshman year? I am well within their range using their “UC GPA”, but will they consider the UC GPA or my overall GPA?
Any response appreciated.
Yes, as per the response from @Gumbymom on the same question, the UC’s care about overall grades.
You have to meet the A-G requirements.
You have to be able to pay $60K per year to attend. Did you ask your parents if they can afford the UC’s as an OOS?
